Publishing bouncers

We do welcome bouncers from the community, and will gladly publish them on the hub.

Why ?#

Sharing your bouncer on the hub allows other users to find it and use it. While increasing your code's visibility, it ensures as well a benevolent look from the community and the team over it.

How ?#

To have your bouncer published on the hub, please simply open a new issue on the hub, requesting "bouncer inclusion". The bouncer will then be reviewed by the team, and then will be published directly on the hub, for everyone to find & use it !

The information that should be stated in your issue is :

  • The source repository of your bouncer (for example https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-firewall-bouncer/)
  • The software licence used
  • The current status of the bouncer (stage : dev/unstable/stable)
  • Documentation (can be simply in the README.md) :
    • must contains : installing, uninstalling
    • should contains : configuration documentation
  • Link to existing tests if applicable (functional tests or unit tests)

Please take care of the following :

  • Ensure your repository has a About/Short description meaningful enough : it will be displayed in the hub
  • Ensure your repository has a decent README.md file : it will be displayed in the hub
  • Ensure your repository has at least one release : this is what users will be looking for
  • (ideally) Have a "social preview image" on your repository : this will be displayed in the hub when available
  • (ideally) A Howto or link to guide that provides a hands-on experience with the bouncer

Please find below a template :
