I am using immich in a docker environment with docker compose. I want to use fail2ban (on debian) to scan the immich logfile. But the immich logfile is in the /var/lib container directory which changes its name frequently. I need to have a static folder name for the logfile so that fail2ban can fiund it and scan it. How do I do that?

there's a forum thread about this. it's not as easy as you think mostly due to docker stuff

#

I think we have it link in the FAQ? or the awesome immich guides section

Sorry, but I havent found anything to that point. Other docker containers like nextcloud or jellyfin have a configurable log directoy. Not so immich. Thats a pity. fail2ban should be standard for any online service.
