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.

Just be aware that putting Jellyfin behind a Reverse Proxy that redirects to external auth services, breaks client support that is not in a browser.
Thus you either white-/blacklist specific server access paths or set up accounts that may relay the loging credentials.
Maybe something like LDAP may work but I can't say how well it works as I havent used that.

It works as advertised.
