Apache2 as reverse proxy with ModSecurity and OWASP Ruleset on Debian
Here I will describe as mentioned in article https://stangneth.com/2022/12/27/nginx-as-reverse-proxy-with-waf-modsecurity-on-debian/ how to install a reverse proxy with WAF based on Apache2.
Installation
To install Apache2 on Debian, use the following command:
apt install apache2 -y
Next, we need to enable the necessary modules. We will be using the proxy and proxy_http modules to configure reverse proxy functionality and the headers module to add custom headers to the proxied traffic:

NGINX as reverse proxy with ModSecurity and OWASP Ruleset on Debian
I have divided my home network into three separate areas: a datacenter, a DMZ (demilitarized zone), and an internal client network. To prevent my clients from having direct access to the datacenter, I have set up an NGINX reverse proxy in the DMZ. This allows both clients within the network and those from the WAN (wide area network) to connect. It is great to be able to secure all sites with a Let’s Encrypt certificate.
In the coming days, I plan to publish an article on configuring Apache2 as a reverse proxy with ModSecurity and the OWASP ruleset.
Installation
To install NGINX and Certbot from the default repository on a debian-based operating system, you can use the package manager apt:
apt update apt install nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginxRead more…
Icinga2 agent not loading performance counters on Windows
I had the problem that on some Windows Server 2019 VMs the performance counters could not be loaded. The scripts gave me the information “wrong parameter” or “The resource loader failed to find MUI file”.
To solve this go to the VM and enter the following commands to rebuild all performance counters.
cd C:\windows\system32 lodctr /R cd C:\windows\sysWOW64 lodctr /R
Now all performance counter should work again and Icinga Agent should be able to get the results.
Update Nextcloud in a docker environment
This article refers to the nextcloud docker-compose installation in this article https://stangneth.com/2022/02/02/nextcloud-with-docker-compose/#more-269
Go to your nextcloud homefolder and update the container-image.
cd /home/nextcloud docker-compose up -d
The container-image is now updated but the nextcloud container itself not as you can see at the version number after login in to your nextcloud instance. You need to perform these additional command.
docker exec -it nextcloud updater.phar
Now recheck your version number if its updated.
