##Overview
## Overview
fail2rest is a small REST server that aims to allow full administration of a fail2ban server via HTTP
fail2rest will eventually be used as a backend to a small web app to make fail2ban
administration and reporting easier.
##Requirements
## Requirements
fail2rest is written in Golang, so it requires a working Golang installation. If you have never used Golang before install it from your
package manager, and then follow [these](http://golang.org/doc/code.html) instructions to setup your enviroment.
Some libraries currently are not building on older versions of Go, I recommend running the newest stable of Golang.

##Running
## Running
Once you have a config.json all you need to do is run `fail2rest --config config.json`
However, fail2rest is designed to run as a service, so init scripts are provided that allow easy management of fail2rest. They can be found [here](https://github.com/Sean-Der/fail2rest/tree/master/init-scripts)
Download the appropriate init file your Distribution. You may need to customize your init script to load your config.json, but most scripts default to /etc/fail2rest.json

### systemd
To run as a service you can either copy or create symlinks for systemd and the fail2rest binary. The systemd file shold be added to /etc/systemd/system/fail2rest.service and the the binary to /usr/bin/fail2rest. This scenario will use the symlinks in order to always use the latest files. You should run the commands with sudo if not logged in as root:
ln -s $GOPATH/bin/fail2rest /usr/bin/
