Comment on CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use?

With the bouncer setup, I assume I need to pass in where to look for logs or something for those to be passed into the lapi? I followed this CrowdSec and Nginx Proxy Manager , as far as I can tell everything is connected an running, I have crowdsec running on OpnSense via the plugin - it appears to be healthy as per the CrowdSec Console.

npm  | [nginx       ] nginx: [error] [lua] crowdsec.lua:62: init(): error loading captcha plugin: no recaptcha site key provided, can't use recaptcha       
npm  | [nginx       ] nginx: [error] [lua] ban.lua:37: new(): BAN_TEMPLATE_PATH and REDIRECT_LOCATION variable are empty, will return HTTP 403 for ban decisions
npm  | [nginx       ] nginx: [alert] [lua] crowdsec_openresty.conf:5):11: [Crowdsec] Initialisation done                                                    
npm  | [supervisor  ] starting service 'app'...

Hey bro. I apologize for getting back to you so late. Did you ever get this resolved? I’m not hugely knowledgeable about the intricacies of nginx. I went with Caddy, but there is probably some commonality between the two. lmk

  All good, yea its because I need crowdsec installed on the proxy as well - not just the bouncer - in order to actually send the logs to Opnsense.
  
  I ended up having some weird performance issues so I pulled it all out for now and will revisit another time.
