# 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; |
||||
``` |
