Nginx should be connecting over the local interface, not to the IP the resolver gives it. Elsewhere in this file proxy_pass uses 127.0.0.1 as it should.
Explicitly set the timings and counts for the dovecot jail rather than change the global [DEFAULT] and inherit it for this one jail. These settings are far too safe so a future PR should increase security here.
Reverts the remaining FAIL2BAN settings to default: findtime 600 and maxretry 3. As jail settings override default settings this was hardly being used anyway so it is better to explicitly set it per jail as and when required.
Modify outgoing_mail_header_filters and mail-postfix.sh
files to result in the primary hostname, and the public
ip of the server showing in the first mail header route
instead of unknown and 127.0.0.1. This could help lower
the spam score of mail sent from your server to some
public mail services.
No legitimate admin will require 20 login attempts. The default 6 is a sane middle ground especially since in 10 minutes they can try again or immediately from another IP anyway.
A 60 second/1 minute ban time is not long enough to counter brute force attacks which is the main purpose of fail2ban for mail in a box. The default bantime of 10 minutes is still sane and I think we have proven fail2ban is reliable enough not to cause problems in general. It is not worth sacrificing security for the rare case where an admin locks themselves out for 10 minutes.
* Set ssl_stapling_verify to off per https://sslmate.com/blog/post/ocsp_stapling_in_apache_and_nginx ('on' has no security benefits).
* Set resolver to 127.0.0.1, instead of Google Public DNS, because we might as well use our local nameserver anyway.
* Remove the commented line which per the link above would never be necessary anyway.
OCSP seems to work just fine after these changes.
* Split the nginx templates again so we have just the part needed to make a domain do a redirect separate from the rest.
* Add server blocks to the nginx config for these domains.
* List these domains in the SSL certificate install admin panel.
* Generate default 'www' records just for domains we provide default redirects for.
Fixes#321.
* install the munin-node package
* don't install munin-plugins-extra (if the user wants it they can add it)
* expose the munin www directory via the management daemon so that it can handle authorization, rather than manintaining a separate password file
Redirect using the 'return' directive and the built-in
variable '$request_uri' to avoid any capturing, matching
or evaluation of regular expressions.
It's best practice. See: http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls#Taxing_Rewrites
nginx/postfix use a new pre-generated dh2048.pem file. dovecot generates the bits on its own.
ssllabs.com reports that TLS_DHE ciphers went from 1024 to 2048 bits as expected. The ECDHE ciphers remain at 256 bits --- no idea what that really means. (This tests nginx only. I haven't tested postfix/dovecot.)
