# Kaptĉapelo
|
|||
|
Kaptĉapelo is a simple [Kocaptcha](https://github.com/koto-bank/kocaptcha)-compatible CAPTCHA server, to keep out robots and people with dubious intent. Rather than auto-generated challenges like Kocaptcha, though, Kaptĉapelo lets you create shiny, pretty, _custom_ challenges.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Since Kaptĉapelo is a kinda-sorta drop-in replacement for Kocaptcha, you can [use it as CAPTCHA](https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/configuration/cheatsheet/#captcha) for your [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social) server.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Installation
|
|||
|
### Setup
|
|||
|
Kaptĉapelo requires the following:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* A Common Lisp implementation. I’d recommend [Steel Bank Common Lisp](http://www.sbcl.org/), which is robust and available on many operating systems under the package-name `sbcl`.
|
|||
|
* [Quicklisp](https://quicklisp.org/), a “package-manager” for Common Lisp libraries.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To install these, you can run the following commands (replacing `guix` with your package-manager of choice)…
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ guix install sbcl
|
|||
|
$ mkdir --parents ~/.local/lib/quicklisp/
|
|||
|
$ wget https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
|
|||
|
$ sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And then, in SBCL, run…
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
* (quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "~/.local/lib/quicklisp/")
|
|||
|
* (ql:add-to-init-file)
|
|||
|
* (quit)
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Back in the shell, we can clone Kaptĉapelo…
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ cd ~/.local/lib/quicklisp/local-projects/
|
|||
|
$ git clone https://notabug.org/jadedctrl/kaptchapelo
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Execution
|
|||
|
In the sources, you can find a script (`run-kaptchapelo.lisp`), which can be used like so:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ # First, let’s make it executable…
|
|||
|
$ chmod +x ~/.local/lib/quicklisp/local-projects/kaptchapelo/run-kaptchapelo.lisp
|
|||
|
$ # … now we can run it…
|
|||
|
$ ~/.local/lib/quicklisp/local-projects/kaptchapelo/run-kaptchapelo.lisp
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now, Kaptchapelo should be running and good to go; visit http://localhost:5001 and have a look!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Configuration
|
|||
|
### Web-server
|
|||
|
You’ll probably be running Kaptchapelo through a reverse proxy; here’s how you can add it to an existing server definition with [nginx](https://nginx.org/):
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
server {
|
|||
|
[…]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
location /new {
|
|||
|
set $target http://localhost:5001;
|
|||
|
proxy_buffering off;
|
|||
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:5001;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
location /captcha/ {
|
|||
|
set $target http://localhost:5001;
|
|||
|
proxy_buffering off;
|
|||
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:5001;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[…]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
That is to say, you don’t need a dedicated subdomain!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Custom captchas
|
|||
|
Making custom captchas is easy! A challenge is simply a PNG file (question) and a TXT file (answer).
|
|||
|
… that’s it! Literally.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note that the PNG and TXT files should have the same name (bird.png and bird.txt, not bird2.png and bird1.txt), and that the TXT answer should consist of one line with _no_ newline.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A peek through this repository’s example captchas (in `./captcha/`) should give you the idea.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Captcha directory
|
|||
|
It’s likely you’ll want to provide a custom directory in which to store your captchas; no problem! Just edit the aforementioned `run-kaptchapelo.lisp` script, which contains a line…
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
:captcha-directory #p"~/.local/lib/quicklisp/local-projects/kaptchapelo/captcha/"
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
… all you have to do is replace the path there with your own.
|
|||
|
In addition, you can also change the port and address by editing this script.
