Bouncer not reading API_KEY from environment correctly

iiAmLoz · March 4, 2024, 12:18pm

The documentation you link too is the CrowdSec binary and that does support environment variables, however, bouncers do not we use ${API_KEY} as a placeholder within the post installation scripts to replace with the key it generates.

                      echo "API Key successfully created" >&2
                      echo "$bouncer_id" > "$CONFIG.id"
                  fi
              else
                  echo "cscli/crowdsec is not present, please set the API key manually" >&2
                  api_key="<API_KEY>"
                  ret=1
              fi
          
              if [ "$api_key" != "" ]; then
                  set_config_var_value 'API_KEY' "$api_key"
              fi
          
              return "$ret"
          }
          
          set_local_port() {
              require 'CONFIG'
              local port
              command -v cscli >/dev/null || return 0
              # the following will fail with a non-LAPI local crowdsec, leaving empty port
