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.

To prevent brute force login attempts into my jellyfin service.

These people seem...pretty stupid tbh. Maybe they don't understand what fail2ban is, or what it does, but you should absolutely use fail2ban. Security is objectively better by just having it enabled than not for any service, not just jellyfin.
