Crowdsec finally comming to pfSense

w0w

The fact that CrowdSec is still not available in the pfSense repository says a lot. It probably suggests that there are some problems with either maintaining its code or its implementation.

@mmetc
Do I need to uninstall the currently installed version first?

Also not sure what the commands are to download, untar and install since I’m pretty sure the links will change for the untarred files.

Tracked down the answers for myself.
To download-

fetch <link to tarball>

To untar-

tar xvf <name of file>

Install commands-

# setenv IGNORE_OSVERSION yes
# pkg add -f /root/abseil-20230125.3.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/re2-20240501.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/crowdsec-1.6.2.pkg
# pkg add -f /root/pfSense-pkg-crowdsec-0.1.3.pkg

Install whitelist-

sudo cscli parsers install crowdsecurity/whitelists

I deleted the originally installed pkg so re-registered-

sudo cscli capi register

And re-enrolled-

sudo cscli console enroll -e context clzeha7k80004l6087uikulpm

And then reloaded the pkg-

sudo service crowdsec onereload

Still no crowdsec package in package manager though. Maybe that will get fixed later???
