Paul Payne 9687fad812 feat: Move cluster services to wild-directory as unified packages
Convert all 15 cluster services from embedded API format to
wild-directory packages using the unified manifest format:
- metallb, traefik, cert-manager, longhorn, snapshot-controller
- nfs, smtp, coredns, node-feature-discovery, nvidia-device-plugin
- externaldns, docker-registry, headlamp, crowdsec, utils

Changes:
- wild-manifest.yaml → manifest.yaml with is, defaultConfig, requires
- Eliminated configReferences and serviceConfig fields
- Flattened kustomize.template/ to package root
- Template vars use flat defaultConfig keys
- install.sh paths updated for apps/ layout
- Updated 9 app manifests: cloud.smtp.* → apps.smtp.* with requires
- Removed dead install: true field from 6 app manifests

# CrowdSec Security Service
CrowdSec is an open-source security engine that analyzes traffic patterns and blocks malicious actors. This service integrates CrowdSec with Traefik to provide automatic threat detection and rate limiting for all Wild Cloud ingresses.
## Components
- **CrowdSec Agent**: Analyzes traffic patterns, maintains decision lists, and connects to the CrowdSec threat intelligence network
- **Traefik Bouncer**: Integrates with Traefik via ForwardAuth to enforce CrowdSec decisions
- **Security Middlewares**: Traefik middleware for rate limiting and security headers
## Default Protection
After installation, **all ingresses are automatically protected** with:
- Threat detection (blocks known malicious IPs and attack patterns)
- Rate limiting (100 requests per minute per IP)
- Security headers (HSTS, XSS protection, content-type sniffing prevention)
## Configuration
Configuration is stored in `config.yaml` under `apps.crowdsec`:
```yaml
apps:
crowdsec:
rateLimitAverage: "100"
rateLimitBurst: "100"
```
## Secrets
Secrets are stored in `secrets.yaml` under `apps.crowdsec`:
```yaml
apps:
crowdsec:
agentPassword: <auto-generated>
bouncerApiKey: <auto-generated>
```
## Opting Out
To disable CrowdSec protection for a specific ingress (e.g., webhooks, health checks):
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.middlewares: ""
```
## Using Only Rate Limiting
To use rate limiting without threat detection:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.middlewares: crowdsec-rate-limit@kubernetescrd
```
## Monitoring
View active decisions (blocked IPs):
```bash
kubectl exec -n crowdsec deploy/crowdsec -- cscli decisions list
```
View registered bouncers:
```bash
kubectl exec -n crowdsec deploy/crowdsec -- cscli bouncers list
```
View alerts:
```bash
kubectl exec -n crowdsec deploy/crowdsec -- cscli alerts list
```
View metrics (Prometheus format):
```bash
kubectl port-forward -n crowdsec svc/crowdsec-lapi 6060:6060
curl http://localhost:6060/metrics
```
## Threat Intelligence
CrowdSec includes these detection collections:
- `crowdsecurity/traefik` - Traefik-specific detections
- `crowdsecurity/http-cve` - Known HTTP CVE exploits
- `crowdsecurity/whitelist-good-actors` - Whitelist for known good actors (search engines, etc.)
Enabled scenarios:
- HTTP probing and path traversal detection
- Bad user agent detection
- Sensitive file access attempts
- HTTP crawling detection
- SSH brute force (if exposed)
## Troubleshooting
**Bouncer not connecting to agent:**
```bash
kubectl logs -n crowdsec deploy/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer
kubectl exec -n crowdsec deploy/crowdsec -- cscli bouncers list
```
**Check if middleware is applied:**
```bash
kubectl get middleware -n crowdsec
kubectl describe ingressroute -n <app-namespace> <route-name>
```
**View CrowdSec logs:**
```bash
kubectl logs -n crowdsec deploy/crowdsec
```
