📝 Preliminary Checks
👀 What Happened?
I am trying to run docker mail server with disabled FAIL2BAN, but it fails on startup with these 2 last logs:
2025-07-10 17:01:55+02:00 TRACE start-mailserver.sh: Configuring fail2ban logrotate rotate count and interval
2025-07-10 17:01:56,407 WARN exited: mailserver (exit status 1; not expected)
I have checked source code
function __setup__security__fail2ban() {
if [[ ${ENABLE_FAIL2BAN} -eq 1 ]]; then
_log 'debug' 'Enabling and configuring Fail2Ban'
if [[ -e /tmp/docker-mailserver/fail2ban-fail2ban.cf ]]; then
_log 'trace' 'Custom fail2ban-fail2ban.cf found'
cp /tmp/docker-mailserver/fail2ban-fail2ban.cf /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.local
fi
if [[ -e /tmp/docker-mailserver/fail2ban-jail.cf ]]; then
_log 'trace' 'Custom fail2ban-jail.cf found'
cp /tmp/docker-mailserver/fail2ban-jail.cf /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/user-jail.local
fi
if [[ ${FAIL2BAN_BLOCKTYPE} != 'reject' ]]; then
_log 'trace' "Setting fail2ban blocktype to 'drop'"
echo -e '[Init]\nblocktype = drop' >/etc/fail2ban/action.d/nftables-common.local
fi
echo '[Definition]' >/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/custom.conf
else
_log 'debug' 'Fail2Ban is disabled'
rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban
fi
_log 'trace' 'Configuring fail2ban logrotate rotate count and interval'
[[ ${LOGROTATE_COUNT} -ne 4 ]] && sedfile -i "s|rotate 4$|rotate ${LOGROTATE_COUNT}|" /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban
[[ ${LOGROTATE_INTERVAL} != "weekly" ]] && sedfile -i "s|weekly$|${LOGROTATE_INTERVAL}|" /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban
}
and do I understand correctly that when ENABLE_FAIL2BAN is disabled you delete rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban and then try to change this file? Was there any reason to try to change logrotate rules when FAIL2BAN is disabled?
