Hi,

I've been trying to set up fail2ban for jellyfin both running in docker from compose and I'm doing something wrong.

Can someone tell me what path in the docker compose file you use for jellyfin logs and what path you use in the jail.d and the filter in filter.d?

Thanks

PS. Sorry for low detail, but I'm on phone and don't have my current conf readily available. Will provide if necessary.

If you plan to use fail2ban, I assume you want to make your Jellyfin accessible from the public internet. Please be aware, that large parts of the Jellyfin Backend are not properly authenticated and allow unauthorized, potential mapping of your library and even unauthorized streams.

Thanks for sharing; I was unaware. Just closed off that network hole.
