[both] Troubleshooting guide based on top forum errors #33

Description

@strausmann

Forum Evidence

Recurring errors across 30 forum threads:

Error Frequency Forum Threads
403 Forbidden after CrowdSec Bouncer Very High 80+ replies in main thread
YAML indentation errors ("Additional property not allowed") High Multiple threads
Container race conditions (CrowdSec not ready) Medium Setup guides
Slow/bursty Newt tunnel speed Medium 1,680 views, 15 replies
Let's Encrypt cert failures Medium Multiple threads
Middleware not applying to resource Medium Middleware Manager threads

What's Missing

No centralized troubleshooting page exists for either product. Users search the forum, find partial answers in 80-reply threads, and often give up.

Proposed Content

Structured troubleshooting guide:

  1. Error → Cause → Fix format (scannable)
  2. Grouped by product (CrowdSec Manager / Middleware Manager / Integration)
  3. Every fix includes the exact command or config change
  4. Links to relevant forum threads for context
  5. "Still stuck?" → Link to forum + Discord

Acceptance Criteria

  • Top 10 forum errors documented with fix
  • Error messages are searchable (users will Google them)
  • Each fix tested on test instance
  • Forum threads referenced as sources
