Claude 2e6f14f17d Support remote Authelia and remote/central CrowdSec LAPI
Both let the DO droplet lean on services already running on a
homelab instead of duplicating them locally, per the RAM-budget
discussion (Authelia+Redis and a second CrowdSec LAPI+DB add up).

crowdsec.sh: new step lets this agent register against a remote LAPI
(cscli lapi register -u <url>) and disables its own local API server
by removing the api.server block from config.yaml (backed up first;
verified the exact block boundaries against CrowdSec's actual default
config.yaml from upstream before writing the awk removal). Parsers,
scenarios, and the firewall bouncer still run locally regardless —
only banning decisions centralize, and only after the registration is
approved with `cscli machines validate` on the central machine, which
this script can't do since that's a different box. The final restart
step is skipped with an explanation when registration is pending,
instead of showing a misleading "failed to restart" for an expected
state.

asterisk-do.sh: when no local Authelia is installed, the web-admin
Caddy step now offers a remote Authelia option instead, building the
same forward_auth block inline (authelia.sh's shared Caddy snippet
only exists for local installs) targeting either a bare host:port
(e.g. a NetBird mesh IP) or a full https:// URL. Documents that this
couples web-admin availability to the remote instance's reachability,
while SIP/calling on the droplet stays unaffected either way.

Both changes verified: the config.yaml block-removal awk logic tested
against CrowdSec's real upstream default file structure, the remote
Authelia forward_auth block construction tested in isolation, and
full regression runs confirm the default (declined) path through both
new prompts is unchanged.

# CrowdSec — intrusion prevention
CrowdSec is a **system service** (installed via apt), not a Docker container, so
there is no `docker-compose.yml` in this folder — it exists only to document the
install. The real configuration lives under `/etc/crowdsec`.
## What it does
- Detects malicious behaviour (SSH brute force, web scans, SIP brute
force/enumeration if `asterisk-do` is installed) by parsing logs.
- Bans offending IPs via the **firewall bouncer** (iptables/nftables).
- Pulls **community IP reputation** blocklists so known-bad IPs are blocked
before they ever touch your services.
- Optionally enriches events with **geo/ASN** data for geo-blocking.
## Key commands
```
sudo cscli metrics # parsers/scenarios/acquisition health
sudo cscli decisions list # currently banned IPs
sudo cscli decisions delete --ip <IP> # unban an IP
sudo cscli decisions add --ip <IP> # manually ban an IP
sudo cscli alerts list # recent alerts
sudo cscli collections list # installed detection collections
```
## Where configs live
- Log acquisition (what to watch): `/etc/crowdsec/acquis.d/`
- Caddy access logs: `/etc/crowdsec/acquis.d/caddy.yaml`
(`/var/log/caddy/*.log` — Caddy writes JSON access logs there)
- Asterisk SIP auth events (if `asterisk-do` is installed):
`/etc/crowdsec/acquis.d/asterisk-do.yaml`
(`~/docker/asterisk-do/logs/full` — auth failures, registration scans)
- Notifications: `/etc/crowdsec/notifications/`
- ntfy ban alerts (if enabled): `/etc/crowdsec/notifications/ntfy.yaml`,
wired into `/etc/crowdsec/profiles.yaml`
- Bouncer config: `/etc/crowdsec/bouncers/`
- Remote/central LAPI (if enabled): `/etc/crowdsec/local_api_credentials.yaml`
points at the remote URL; the local API server block is removed from
`/etc/crowdsec/config.yaml` (backed up as `config.yaml.backup.<timestamp>`
next to it before editing). Parsers, scenarios, and the firewall bouncer
still run locally regardless — only the decision database is centralized.
## Multi-server (remote LAPI) notes
- On THIS machine: `sudo cscli lapi register -u <url> --machine <name>`
registers and disables the local API server.
- On the CENTRAL machine: `sudo cscli machines validate <name>` approves it —
not automated, since that's a different box.
- Check registration status here: `sudo cscli lapi status`
- Revert: restore the `config.yaml` backup and
`sudo systemctl restart crowdsec`.
## Geo + reputation notes
- Geo-enrichment (country/ASN tagging) is optional:
`sudo cscli collections install crowdsecurity/geoip-enrich`
- Subscribe to community / 3rd-party blocklists at https://app.crowdsec.net/
- ntfy alerts fire when an IP is **banned** (after repeated failed attempts),
not on every individual failed login.
