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.

Thank you. I did see this list before. My jellyfin instance is not exposed to the net atm., but I'm thinking of exposing it in intervals and would like to have fail2ban working when/if I do.

I'm just not sure if fail2ban can mitigate the unaouthorized api access or other issues
