fail2ban logs about docker-fail2ban

[onedr0p]

Did you try to mount /var/log/fail2ban.log to the host system?

I'm already mounting -v /var/log:/var/log to enable fail2ban to access various logs so unless I'm mistaken I should already see the fail2ban.log if it is being written.

@danteali Today fail2ban logs on this image are forced to stdout but I could set this up.

That would be great, looks like it would be relatively straightforward to add a new optional env var (e.g. $F2B_LOG_LOCATION) which would allow us to set the path for logging to a file if we needed to. I would do a PR myself but I'm not really familiar with using git repos (something I need to learn!).

For the time being I'll try copying fail2ban.conf locally and changing it manually then mounting at container startup.

Thanks for all your work on this.

@danteali You can now use F2B_LOG_TARGET to change log target. You can use /data/failban.log to keep log persisted for example.

Awesome! Thanks!
