Teleport Community 18 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Teleport Community 18 on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg

Teleport is the open source secure access and infrastructure identity platform (an access plane): identity based, short lived certificate access to servers over SSH, plus Kubernetes clusters, databases and web apps, with role based access control (RBAC), single sign on (SSO), multi factor authentication (MFA) and full session recording and audit. The cloudimg image installs Teleport 18.10.0 Community Edition from the official Teleport apt repository and runs it as a single all in one node (auth, proxy and SSH) with its own web UI over TLS on port 443. Built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

Per VM Cluster Identity, Nothing Shipped

Teleport is the security perimeter, so this image never ships its cluster secrets. Every deployed VM generates a fresh cluster identity (its certificate authorities), a per VM TLS certificate and a one time admin invite on first boot. No cluster CA, static join token or admin password exists in the captured image. You open the invite link, set your own password and enrol a TOTP authenticator, and you are the cluster's first administrator.

What is Included

* Teleport 18.10.0 Community Edition (OSS) from the official apt.releases.teleport.dev repository, security patched via unattended upgrades

* An all in one teleport.service (auth, proxy and SSH), config version v3

* Single port TLS routing on 443 (web UI, tsh and node join multiplexed) for a minimal network security group

* Cluster state (certificate authorities, audit log, session recordings) on a dedicated 20 GiB Azure data disk at /var/lib/teleport

* A per VM self signed TLS certificate on first boot; replace it with your own domain certificate or enable ACME

* A per VM admin invite via a one time sign up URL where you set your own password and TOTP

* An nginx health probe and HTTPS redirect on port 80

Use Cases

A secure access gateway (bastion) for your servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases and internal web apps; identity based access with SSO and MFA replacing shared SSH keys; and a fully audited, session recorded access plane you control.
