Greetings,

Have any of you compiled active blocklists to “import” on a new installation please?

Best wishes,  
J

Hello !

Please correct me if I misunderstood you: you want to be able to import your own “block lists” into a new or existing crowdsec instance(s)?

While there is no existing stuff to do this, I think it’s rather trivial using the local api exposed by crowdsec.

You can have a script (or whatever - depending on your datasource) that will use the [create alerts API method](https://crowdsecurity.github.io/api_doc/index.html?urls.primaryName=LAPI#/watchers/pushAlerts) to push alerts with associated decisions to your crowdsec API. Once done, those will be consumed by bouncers etc.

Please let me know !

Hello !  
Hi Thibault,

> > You just answered this question. I am just an integrator now. I have stopped programming about 30 years ago, that’s why I was after a KISS solution rather than get into the nitty gritty of API et al.

I will keep watching this topic however.

Thanks for stepping in Thibault!  
Cheers,  
Jimmy

Could you do this with a bouncer, and a blacklist entry?
