# Fail2ban setup to block users after failed login attemts |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Remember that fail2ban is powerful and can cause lots of issues if you do it incorrectly, so make |
||||||
|
sure to test this before relying on it so you don't lock yourself out.** |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Gitea returns an HTTP 200 for bad logins in the web logs, but if you have logging options on in |
||||||
|
`app.ini`, then you should be able to go off of log/gitea.log, which gives you something like this |
||||||
|
on a bad authentication: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```log |
||||||
|
2018/04/26 18:15:54 [I] Failed authentication attempt for user from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So we set our filter in `/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/gitea.conf`: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ini |
||||||
|
# gitea.conf |
||||||
|
[Definition] |
||||||
|
failregex = .*Failed authentication attempt for .* from <HOST> |
||||||
|
ignoreregex = |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And configure it in `/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/jail.local`: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ini |
||||||
|
[gitea] |
||||||
|
enabled = true |
||||||
|
port = http,https |
||||||
|
filter = gitea |
||||||
|
logpath = /home/git/gitea/log/gitea.log |
||||||
|
maxretry = 10 |
||||||
|
findtime = 3600 |
||||||
|
bantime = 900 |
||||||
|
action = iptables-allports |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make sure and read up on fail2ban and configure it to your needs, this bans someone |
||||||
|
for **15 minutes** (from all ports) when they fail authentication 10 times in an hour. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you run Gitea behind a reverse proxy with nginx (for example with docker), you need to add |
||||||
|
this to your nginx configuration so that IPs don't show up as 127.0.0.1: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; |
||||||
|
``` |
