How to add bouncer to docker compose file?

Hi all!
I configured according to this instruction

crowdsecurity/example-docker-compose/blob/main/docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  #the application itself : static html served by apache2.
  #the html can be found in ./app/
  app:
    image: httpd:alpine
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./app/:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/
    networks:
      crowdsec_test:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.2

  #the reverse proxy that will serve the application
  #you can see nginx's config in ./reverse-proxy/nginx.conf
  reverse-proxy:
    image: nginx:alpine
    restart: always
    ports:

it says:
“and later we’re going to plug a firewall bouncer to it”

Hey and sorry for the late reply. The short answer is: you don’t. Not related to Docker compose but to that you don’t want to run the firewall bouncer in a docker container as it requires root perms to run so a potential security nightmare. So instead I recommend running the firewall bouncer on the host or using another bouncer.

Another thing: I don’t recommend you using instructions in that how-to as it’s aging. It’s on my list of things I want to update but until then you should try out Integrating CrowdSec with Traefik & Discord. If you want to experiment with running the firewall bouncer on your docker host I wrote about that in CrowdSec with NGINX Proxy Manager - The open-source & collaborative IPS. Also if you want faster help going forward I can recommend joining our Discord at CrowdSec.
