# fail2rest
##Overview
fail2rest is a small REST server that aims to replicate the failban-client UI
fail2rest will eventually be used as a backend to a small web app to make fail2ban
administration and reporting easier.
##Contributing
Every PR will be merged! Feel free to open up PRs that aren't fully done, I will do
my best to finish them for you. I will make sure to review everything I can. If
you are interested in working on fail2rest, but don't know where to start here are some ideas.
* Find unimplemented fail2ban-client commands
* Improve data assertions before json.marshall (this is really important!)
* Document current API calls (and examples with cURL), small static website for this info
* Start on fail2web, I would like to write this in angular, angular-ui, browserify and d3.js (Open to suggestions just most comfortable with this)
* Write tests, and implement some post-commit system for running tests
* Expand fail2ban-server so that we can perform more operations via socket. I would like to avoid editing files as long as possible
