Project Preview
A security-focused web application that helps users create secure SSH server, SSH client, and Samba configuration files through guided wizards, educational content, and deployment best practices.
About the Project
ConfigWise is a full-stack web application built with Flask and Bootstrap 5 that helps users create secure SSH server, SSH client, and Samba configuration files. Instead of expecting users to write complex settings manually, the system guides them through a step-by-step wizard, explains key security decisions, and supports better deployment practices. The goal is to reduce configuration mistakes, improve understanding, and make secure setup more accessible.
Configurations can be saved and loaded from a database, allowing users to revisit and refine their setups over time - making it a practical tool for students, junior sysadmins, and anyone learning to manage Linux services securely.
Security Focus
Misconfigured SSH and Samba services are a common source of vulnerabilities in Linux environments. ConfigWise is designed to guide users away from insecure defaults and help them understand why each setting matters - not just what value to pick.
Guided workflows walk users through every option, with context and secure defaults pre-applied at each step.
Inline tips explain the security implications of configuration choices so users learn as they build.
Dedicated guides cover secure deployment of SSH server, SSH client, and Samba services in depth.
Generated files follow secure-by-default principles, reducing the risk of exposing services unnecessarily.
