thespad/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer

traefik-crowdsec-bouncer is an HTTP service to verify requests and bounce them according to decisions made by CrowdSec. Fork of https://github.com/fbonalair/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer with extra features.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures and simply pulling ghcr.io/thespad/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Available	Tag
amd64	✅	latest
arm64	✅	latest

Application Setup

Get a bouncer API key from CrowdSec with command docker exec -t crowdsec cscli bouncers add bouncer-traefik
Copy the API key printed. You WON'T be able the get it again.
Paste this API key as the value for bouncer environment variable CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_API_KEY, or use an .env file.
Set the other environment variables as required (see below for details).
Start bouncer.
Visit a site proxied by Traefik and confirm you can access it.
In another console, ban your IP with command docker exec crowdsec cscli decisions add --ip <your ip> -R "Test Ban", modify the IP with your address.
Visit the site again, in your browser you will see "Forbidden" since this time since you've been banned.
Unban yourself with docker exec crowdsec cscli decisions delete --ip <your IP>
Visit the site one last time, you will have access to the site again.

Traefik Setup

Create a Forward Auth middleware, i.e.

    middleware-crowdsec-bouncer:
      forwardauth:
        address: http://traefik-crowdsec-bouncer:8080/api/v1/forwardAuth
        trustForwardHeader: true

Then apply it either to individual containers you wish to protect or as a default middlware on the Traefik listener.

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker-compose (recommended)

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
`-p 1935`	Web GUI
`-e PUID=1000`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1000`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-e TZ=Europe/London`	Specify a timezone to use EG America/New_York
`-e CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_API_KEY=`	CrowdSec bouncer API key (required).
`-e CROWDSEC_AGENT_HOST=`	Host and port of CrowdSec LAPI agent, i.e. crowdsec-agent:8080 (required).
`-e CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_SCHEME=`	Scheme to query CrowdSec agent. Allowed values: `http`, `https`. Default is `http`.
`-e TRUSTED_PROXIES=`	IP addresses of upstream proxies. Can accept a list of IP addresses in CIDR format, delimited by ','. Default is `0.0.0.0/0`.
`-e PORT=`	Change listening port of web server. Default is `8080`.
`-e CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_LOG_LEVEL=`	Minimum log level for bouncer. Allowed values: zerolog levels. Default is `1`.
`-e GIN_MODE=`	Operational mode for Gin framework. Set to `debug` for noisy log output. Default is `release`.
`-e CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_SKIPRFC1918=`	Don't send RCF1918 (Private) IP addresses to the LAPI to check ban status. Allowed values: `true`, `false` . Default is `true`.
`-e CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_REDIRECT=`	Optionally redirect instead of giving 403 Forbidden. Accepts relative or absolute URLs but must not be protected by the bouncer or you'll get a redirect loop. Default is `null`.
`-e CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_CLOUDFLARE=`	Use the `CF-Connecting-IP` header instead of `X-Forwarded-For`. This is useful if you're using Cloudflare proxying as `CF-Connecting-IP` will contain the real source address rather than the Cloudflare address. Allowed values: `true`, `false` . Default is `false`.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it traefik-crowdsec-bouncer /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f traefik-crowdsec-bouncer

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. We do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

Update all images: docker-compose pull
- or update a single image: docker-compose pull traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container: docker-compose up -d traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Run

Update the image: docker pull ghcr.io/thespad/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
Stop the running container: docker stop traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
Delete the container: docker rm traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)

We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

cd docker-traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t ghcr.io/thespad/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer:latest .
