Scirius Community Edition, the web management interface for the Suricata IDS ruleset, with current threat intelligence fetched on first boot rather than frozen into the image.
Scirius Community Edition is a web interface dedicated to Suricata ruleset management, developed by Stamus Networks. It lets you manage the rule sources and feeds that Suricata detects with, whether public feeds such as the Emerging Threats Open ruleset or your own custom sources, compose them into a single ruleset with per category and per rule control and transformations, and push that composed ruleset to a running Suricata engine, keeping your intrusion detection signatures organised, versioned and current from one place.
It suits security engineers and network defence teams who run Suricata and want a managed, repeatable way to curate what the engine detects, rather than hand editing rule files. This appliance ships the rule management core: the event analytics dashboards that upstream builds on an Elasticsearch datastore are intentionally not enabled, so no Elasticsearch or OpenSearch is installed.
cloudimg delivers Scirius installed alongside the Suricata engine and reverse proxied behind nginx, with the application server and the rule reload pipeline already wired, so ruleset management answers within minutes of launch. The image is secure by default: no administrator and no shared secret ship in it, and on the first boot of every instance a fresh Django secret key is generated, the database is initialised empty, a unique administrator plus a REST API token are created and written to a file only the root user can read, and the current Emerging Threats Open ruleset is fetched and pushed to Suricata so day one signatures are up to date. No two deployments ever share a login. The image is hardened, fully patched, pinned to a known version, paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.
