Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Honest question: Why fail2ban? Have you considered crowdsec ?
I used to use the former; I've found the latter to be easier to maintain and I like that it shares threats real-time
I didn't like crowdsec because of the limits on the free account. For example, I got way more than the 500 max monthly alerts just with one application being protected. So it was difficult to analyze threats. It was easier to set up though. And both serve slightly different use cases.
You can analyze with either the CLI or log files piped into something like OpenObserve which is what I do. You don't technically need their dashboard.
I'll give it a look. No real reason for fail2ban specifically, it's just often mentioned as an easy process for beginners.
Why not both?
Crowdsec does everything fail2ban does so not much point.
In my thinking, redundancy, defense in depth.....maybe? May be overkill. I run them both with no issues.
