Logs & ban user multiple failed logins with fail2ban about docker-pure-ftpd

[stilliard]

Hi @lukaspavelka
I think these will log to /var/log/messages or try using docker logs to view them.
Hope this helps.

There is no file /var/log/messages inside container and also no info in docker logs <container_id>
No information who is connecting and trying wrong passwords.

I Think this is big issue with FTP which is exported to public.

I also try :
mkdir -p /var/log/pure-ftpd && ln -sf /dev/stdout /var/log/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.log

but no info from FTP there as well. :(

Ah I didn't spot this before sorry but in the env flags you're setting the debug logs flag correctly, but then I think overriding it with a 2nd ADDED_FLAGS call. We should clarify this in the docs but you can only pass ADDED_FLAGS once but you can combine them.

Instead of -e "ADDED_FLAGS=-d -d" -e "ADDED_FLAGS=-O w3c:/home/docker/pureftpd/pure-ftpd/log/transfer.log"
try: -e "ADDED_FLAGS=-d -d -O w3c:/home/docker/pureftpd/pure-ftpd/log/transfer.log"
