Hi anarcat, And thanks for the swift answer. Antoine Beaupré <anarcat@debian.org> (2021-01-14): > I guess that if it's made clear in the package description, it's fair > to phone home by default.

I think I'd rather avoid having to handle different binaries to distinguish between those two modes. Upstream already has a wizard to detect various services and perform some configuration accordingly. I haven't dived into it yet, but it could be a nice basis for some debconf prompt(s), so that one can dpkg-reconfigure at will for both the “which mode do you want to be in?” and the “which services do you want to handle?” aspects. We will likely make progress on further integration next week. If we indeed rely on debconf, that would also mean that people wanting to install crowdsec in some automated/non-interactive fashion could just preseed some setting to make sure the right mode is picked from the get-go. (No pun intended, they just write themselves…) Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois -- Debian Consultant @ DEBAMAX -- https://debamax.com/
