fail2rest

##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.

##Running

  • fail2rest is written in Go, you will need the Go distribution
  • Install the necessary libraries make libs
  • Run fail2rest make run

##Configuration fail2rest is configured via config.json in your current working directory. You can also specify a custom path with the --config flag fail2rest --config=my_config.json

fail2rest has two options that be configured via config.json

  • Fail2banSocket - The path to the fail2ban socket, can usually be found via grep socket /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf you also have to run fail2rest as a user who has permissions to use this socket
  • Addr - The address that fail2rest is served upon, it is usually best so serve to the loopback, and then allow access via nginx see an example config in the fail2web repository

##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.

  • Document current API calls (and examples with cURL), small static website for this info
  • Write tests, and implement some post-commit system for running tests
