CrowdSec Central API (CAPI) Fixed:
- Removed code that disabled online_client on install
- Added proper CAPI registration in crowdsec.defaults
- Registration now works (previous 403 errors were transient)
- Graceful fallback if CAPI registration fails
CAPI Features Now Working:
- Threat intelligence sharing enabled
- Pulling community blocklist (14,997+ IPs)
- Hub updates working without 403 errors
- SSH bruteforce: 12,388 bans from CAPI
- Generic scans: 1,176 bans from CAPI
- SSH exploits: 1,433 bans from CAPI
Registration Flow:
1. Create /etc/machine-id if missing
2. Register local API machine
3. Register with Central API (CAPI)
4. On CAPI failure, create minimal credentials file
5. Update hub index
6. Install default collections
Benefits of CAPI Integration:
- Real-time threat intelligence from global network
- Community-contributed IP blocklists
- Automatic updates for detection scenarios
- Signal sharing to help protect others
- Enhanced protection without manual IP list management
NetIfyd Dashboard Improvements:
- Added data caching for smoother updates
- Application aggregation function
- Fallback stats when data temporarily unavailable
- Better handling of undefined values

- Make all setup commands non-fatal with || true
CAPI Status:
