CrowdSec - Collaborative Intrusion Prevention System.
CrowdSec is an open-source security automation tool that detects and blocks
malicious behavior by analyzing logs and sharing threat intelligence with
the community.
This module provides simplified boolean feature toggles for common use cases
and can use either a custom implementation or the native NixOS module.

detection and response capabilities, helping organizations meet requirements
for detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents.

System (IDS/IPS), a core requirement for protecting network infrastructure.

implementation = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.enum [ "auto" "native" "custom" ];
description = ''
Which implementation to use for CrowdSec.
- "auto": Automatically select based on NixOS version and module stability.
Currently defaults to "custom" because the native module has bugs.
- "native": Force use of NixOS's native services.crowdsec module.
Requires NixOS 25.11+. May have bugs - use for testing only.
- "custom": Use the custom implementation that manages its own systemd
service. Works on all NixOS versions with the crowdsec package.
The native module in NixOS 25.11 has several known issues:
- #445342: Missing sensible defaults
- #446764: Console enrollment broken
- #459224: Cannot enable local API
When these are fixed, "auto" will switch to using the native module.
