Hi!  
I just installed a fresh instance of crowdsec in an Ubuntu 20.04 alongside a Mastodon server.  
I followed the steps to install like this:

curl -s [https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/crowdsec/crowdsec/script.deb.sh](https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/crowdsec/crowdsec/script.deb.sh) | sudo bash  
sudo apt install crowdsec  
sudo apt install crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-iptables

Up to this works great! I have access to the hub list, as well as the decision list just fine.

But when trying to install the dashboard:

sudo apt install [docker.io](http://docker.io)  
sudo cscli dashboard setup --listen 0.0.0.0 --port 3001

I had to use 3001 as port, as apparently the dashboard uses port 3000 and it’s being used by mastodon. I did this before without anyport and got the error.

But after changing the port I get this error:

WARN[19-11-2022 10:19:46 AM] You are using sqlite without WAL, this can have an impact of performance. If you do not store the database in a network share, set db\_config.use\_wal to true. Set explicitly to false to disable this warning.

? For metabase docker to be able to access SQLite file we need to add a new group called ‘crowdsec’ to the system, is it ok for you ? Yes
