crowdsec nginx bouncer without IP
Hello CrowSec community,
I'm new to CrowdSec. I am running an nginx reverse proxy serving a demo web app in a docker container. My dockerized nginx container is running with ports 80 and 443. I installed crowdsec and related remediation components (bouncers) baremetal. Seems that it is working, however, I noticed after running the command
sudo cscli bouncers list
See attached image.
1) My crowdsec-nginx-bouncer
doesn't have an IP assigned. Is it because I have nginx running in a container ?
PS: To install sudo apt install crowdsec-nginx-bouncer
, nginx was installed. After I rebooted, it was clashing with my nginx container. So, I disabled baremetal nginx

If you want to use the remediation within a container, then you have to build a custom nginx image, or simply use openresty as the base image (reason is openresty comes with nginx setup with Lua which is needed for this remediation)
Since you disabled the bare metal remediation thats why it doesnt have a IP address since using the apt package doesnt know you want to use it within a container hence you need a custom built image.
thanks. i will switch to the container procedure
