Help me deploy Crowdsec's WAF with Traefik

Need Help

Hello all,

I am trying to deploy Crowsec WAF on my self hosted Vaultwarden instance which is behind Traefik but I am a bit confused and would appreciate some help.

I already have Crowdsec installed *as a package* and working on the host. My Vaultwarden and Traefik are running as Docker containers.

Crowdsec's documentation of the WAF only talks about deploying it as a container, so I am not sure if there is a way to somehow add the feature to my existing, working install. Even though since the WAF required communication between Traefik and the Crowdsec instance, that would mean I need to give my Traefik container access to the host network which I see as a downgrade.

So my question is: shall I deploy the WAF as a container on top of the existing setup? Is this even possible?…
