Since most of the community is already using this integration by Hslatman, we rather find time to help them achieve it within the module rather than create a competing fork.
Plus the code is open source so everyone is welcome to contribute, even wrote it in our CrowdSec blog Secure Caddy with CrowdSec: Remediation and WAF Guide that as good as open source software is, contributing back is the best way to see what you want achieved.
Yes agree that hslatman/caddy-crowdsec-bouncer is a good starting point.
I really would love to have integration from the caddy-bouncer to the Crowdsec console though.
If you could help out there, this would really be appreciated.
