Crowdsec struggles

[chief-lewus]

I've attempted a few times now to get Crowdsec working and I have failed multiple times.

Here is my compose file. I have tried Crowdsec as Network mode Host and Network mode Bridge and the same issue persists.

Here is my npmplus.yaml file that I have placed inside /proxy/crowdsec/conf/acquis.d/npmplus.yaml

And here is my Crowdsec config with my bouncer and set to enabled. Located at /proxy/npm/etc/crowdsec

Things I've tried... Making a custom whitelist for my local IP's, Setting Crowdsec container to Host and Bridge. While crowdsec is enabled I get an access forbidden when I try to access my sites. If I check the active decisions list there is nothing active nor are the any alerts when checked there.

You need to create the api key as per readme

I wouldn't say anything failed. I just keep getting the Crowdsec Forbidden Access page when I have it enabled, despite having made a custom whitelist for my local IP's and such. If I check the Crowdsec decisions it doesn't show anything as banned either.

Is there something written in npmplus docker logs? It looks like it maybe can't connect to crowdsec

[chief-lewus]

I'm going to try a fresh install again and see if something just didn't click the first time or I overlooked something.

If I enable Crowdsec and I try to visit a site I just get the "Access Forbidden Crowdsec" page. As soon as I disable it, All is well again. I've tried whitelisting to no avail.
