Using deny list

[Tealk]

Hi,

I would like to install a blacklist that I pull from abuseipdb.
I then get a file that has deny entries and I load them in via /data/nginx/custom/http_top.conf.

But now I always have to restart the docker container for the new list to take effect, are there better ways to do this?

The Script:

#!/bin/bash

API_KEY="YOUR_OWN_API_KEY"
CONFIDENCE_MINIMUM=90
NGINX_BLACKLIST_FILE="/nginx-proxy-manager/data/nginx/custom/nginx_blacklist.conf"

# Fetch blacklisted IPs from AbuseIPDB
fetch_blacklisted_ips() {
    curl -s -G "https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/blacklist" \
        -d "confidenceMinimum=${CONFIDENCE_MINIMUM}" \
        -d limit=500000 \
        -H "Key: ${API_KEY}" \
        -H "Accept: text/plain"
}

# Create Nginx blacklist configuration file
create_nginx_blacklist() {
    local ips=$1
    echo "$ips" | while read -r ip; do
        echo "deny $ip;" >>"$NGINX_BLACKLIST_FILE"
    done
}

main() {
    blacklisted_ips=$(fetch_blacklisted_ips)
    create_nginx_blacklist "$blacklisted_ips"
    echo "Nginx blacklist file created at: $NGINX_BLACKLIST_FILE"
}

main
