abrown38andClaude Opus 5.5 941d4fb10d Release setup: tarballs, Gitea workflow, apt registry
make dist builds tarballs for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. A pushed v*
tag runs .gitea/workflows/release.yml, which checks the tag against
VERSION and the CHANGELOG, tests, builds the tarballs and the .debs
(amd64, arm64) and publishes them with scripts/gitea-release.sh: a Gitea
release, and the .debs in the Debian registry (stable, or testing for a
release candidate). As in Housecarl and Steward; no cli-dist, Guard is
Linux only. docs/development.md has the steps, docs/install.md the apt
source.

[Unreleased]

Added

  • First version. Guard watches log files (followed through rotation and truncation) and the systemd journal (by unit and syslog identifier), matches lines with patterns holding one <IP>, counts each address's bounty within a window, and bans an address that reaches a watch's hits in a Housecarl ban list (Housecarl 0.2): of every port, or of the watch's protocol and ports, for a time that grows for repeat offenders. IPv6 addresses are counted and banned by the ban list's prefix (/64). Never banned: never_ban (addresses, prefixes, host names), loopback, link-local, multicast; Housecarl adds its own. Bans wait while Housecarl can't be reached, across restarts.
  • Presets: sshd, jarl, housecarl, steward, bind-xfr, postfix-sasl, dovecot, nginx-auth, housecarl-drops (Housecarl's log of dropped packets, TCP only by default).
  • Commands: guard run, check, config [--example], presets, test (a watch's patterns over a log), status (through a local socket), bans, ban, unban, version.
  • A Debian package with a sandboxed systemd unit, as the guard user in the adm and systemd-journal groups, published with each release to the Gitea Debian registry (stable, or testing for a release candidate) along with tarballs for Linux amd64 and arm64.
