While CrowdSec is most commonly used as a host-based defense mechanism, the free and open-source cybersecurity solution is also suitable for Docker environments. This tutorial demonstrates how to deploy a minimal yet complete applicative stack using Docker Compose and secure it with CrowdSec.

  • Automatically ban malevolent IPs from accessing container services
  • Manually add/remove and inspect ban decisions
  • Monitor CrowdSec’s behavior (via CLI and Dashboards)
