Immich crowdsec false positive issue

Status

  • Finished

Date

  • 2026-03-21

Version

  • Immich: 2.6.1

Problem

  • When users access and log in Immich while Immich is generating thumbnail, all connections to homelab services are refused.
    • fw ban users' IP address.

Reason

  • Immich sends 404 error to clients when the client request thumbnail while it is generating them.
  • LAPI decides a ban when a lot of 404 errors occur in short time

Timeline

  • 2026-03-21: Find the false positive case, and add whitelist

Solution

  • Access to fw
    • Check the ban list with sudo cscli alerts list
    • Read the ban case with sudo cscli alerts inspect $NUMBER
  • Add expressions on whitelist
    • evt.Meta.target_fqdn == '{{ services['immich']['domain']['public'] }}.{{ domain['public'] }}' && evt.Meta.http_path contains '/api/assets/' && evt.Meta.http_path contains '/thumbnail'
  • Delete false positive decision
    • Check false positive decision with sudo cscli decision list
    • Delete false positive decision with sudo cscli decision delete --id $ID
