Crowdsec

[phantomsfbw]

i was on 22.1.6 and had installed Crowdsec manually and it seemed to work fine.  Today i installed the new 22.1.7 and Crowdsec quit working. OS-crowdsec shows it has been orphaned in the plugins section.  I deleted the orphan and tried to reinstall the new Crowdsec packages, there are two and I get this error:

I found the /etc/rc.conf file empty when I went to edit.  I was able to manually remove the recommended files, but that did not change anything.  How do I get Crowdsec back up and running?

Hi phantomsfbw!

I will be able to test later, but it seems -- since you talk about two packages -- that you reinstalled crowdsec and the firewall bouncer, not the opnsense plugin.

I guess what happened is this: you received a new version of crowdsec 1.3.3 from the opnsense repository, which is good, and it reinstalled over the version you manually installed (likely 1.3.2 - I never packaged the 1.3.3 binary). But the update process has removed the plugin, which - surprise! - is a third package.

So you should take it from https://github.com/crowdsecurity/opnsense-plugin-crowdsec/releases/download/v0.1/opnsense_22.1-freebsd_13-oscrowdsec_0.1.tar and run "pkg install os-crowdsec-0.1.txz". Go in settings, check and save.

Leave /etc/rc.conf empty, as you find it. The good stuff is in /etc/rc.conf.d/ anyway and is automatically generated from templates.
In general, messages from package installs are meant in the context of vanilla freebsd, not opnsense.

Whether you run crowdsec 1.3.2 or 1.3.3 should be irrelevant. Version 1.3.4 is in the pipes and the plugin has been merged for the next release as well, so there will be no need to manually install anything.

mmetc thanks for the possible solution.  You are correct in your assessment of what happened.  While the new Crowdsec and the Bouncer were provided in the packages section, the third package, os-crowdsec was not.  I did try install the os-crowdsec 0.1 version, which does then show up in the menu, and you can enable etc., but Crowdsec attempts to start and then fails after about a minute or so.  The status goes from green to red.

Same issue, did you fix it?

Ta.

[phantomsfbw]

Ta, I have not at this time.

Alcon, after updating to the Opnsense .1 update this evening I went and pulled the os-crowdsec file and installed.  Then I went in and installed the two Crowdsec packages and stared the service.  It stoll does work.  The os-crowd  plug in reports it is misconfigured-unknown repository.  Now have an IPV4 DHCPD service stop.  Looks like  I'm going back to scratch.

Anyone else out there got Crowdsec working on the latest OPNsense release?

[RamSense]

working fine overhere. see https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=20153.msg137420#msg137420

=========
But have now this problem:
I just updated opnsense to 22.1.7
 and noticed:
Installed packages to be DOWNGRADED:
   crowdsec: 1.3.2 -> 1.2.3 [mimugmail]

now crowdsec does not start... Others having this also? Should I try to install the latest version?

Answer: Updated to crowdsec - os-crowdsec-0.1.txz - and it is up and running again.

I did pkg upgrade xxxx for all the 3 files and that got it working again.

Michael said he removed the packages from his end. The 22.1.7_1 hotfix also added the latest development plugin to OPNsense and this will install it without any third party mirror:

# pkg install os-crowdsec-devel


Cheers,
Franco

[RamSense]

thnx! pkg install os-crowdsec-devel
and all is ok running os-crowdsec-devel-0.2

Somewhat similar here - I re-installed from CLI and updated (via GUI). pulled 1.3.3. working fine now on os-0.1.

Now did a

Code: [Select]

pkg remove os-crowdsec
pkg install os-crowdsec-devel
and crowdsec seems to be up and running. System->Firmware->Plugins now also reports 0.2 and shows notes for the plugin.

os-crowdsec-devel not working

Even if the service is activated in the Dashboard, it still does not work. And if it is deactivated and reactivated from Services - Crowdsec, sometimes it is activated and deactivated after a short time. However, the bouncer is always activated.

[phantomsfbw]

Seeing same behavior.  Also captured this from log if it is relevant?

No joy in my attempt at a 3rd installation.  I removed all three packages; Made sure the Aliases have been deleted from the Firewall.  Then reinstalled in the files in the order specified.  Checked the blocks in the setting tab to get it started.  In the Overview there is a Red X in the Crowdsec service and a Green Check Mark in the Bouncer service. 

I don't get it.  It worked fine before this last update....
