+The Caddy bouncer protects HTTP services. Stalwart's mail ports (25/465/587/143/993/110/995/4190) bypass Caddy, so run a CrowdSec **firewall bouncer** on the host itself (nftables backend).

+Configure it to talk to the engine's LAPI on `127.0.0.1:18080` (published by the crowdsec container) and give it an `api_key` equal to `CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_KEY_FW` from step 4. Do NOT install the CrowdSec engine on the host, it already runs in Docker. For installing and configuring the bouncer itself, see the official docs: https://docs.crowdsec.net/u/bouncers/firewall/ (repo: https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-firewall-bouncer).

 ## Backups (optional, restic)
 
-This is **optional** — use it only if you want off-site, encrypted backups of your service data. Here it is done with [restic](https://github.com/restic/restic) over SFTP (e.g. a Hetzner Storage Box). restic encrypts client-side, deduplicates and compresses, so no separate `tar`/`gzip` is needed. Run as **root**, since Docker-created service data is mostly root-owned.
