difficulties to setup this plugin about fail2ban HOT 9 CLOSED

i believe that my original issue was due to a outdated version of traefik or so, but TBH i forgot.

however, well done with the PR !

from fail2ban.

plugins are experimental, and loading info is in DEBUG in traefik logs.

@tomMoulard maybe it could be made clearer in the documentation that the fail2ban logs will only be visible when the Traefik logs are set to DEBUG? (if my understanding of this comment is correct: #49 (comment))

I agree with your assessment, most of the issues described above are generic Traefik issues on how to get Traefik configured to run plugins.

@dberardo-com I have opened this PR to add some more docs, following your feedback: #74

from fail2ban.

i dont know if this can hellp, but in my case i could see this error in the log: level=error msg="Plugins are disabled because an error has occurred." error="mkdir plugins-storage: read-only file system"

which lead me to this: traefik/traefik-helm-chart#282

basically experimental plugins have to be enabled globally within the helm chart in k8s:

  experimental:
    plugins:
      enabled: true

now i see that the container is trying to download the plugins, but for some reason it does not reach the host:

evel=error msg="Plugins are disabled because an error has occurred." error="failed to download plugin github.com/tomMoulard/fail2ban: failed to call service: Get "https://plugin.pilot.traefik.io/public/download/github.com/tomMoulard/fail2ban/v0.6.6\": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)"

but from a shell inside the container i can download the plugin without any trouble ... so i wonder why cant traefik download it ? can i increase the timeout ?

also, i feel this point should be documented as well: The fail2ban plugin needs to be the first one on the plugin list of a router, in case the 401, or other "fail sources" are located in the middlewares after fail2ban itself

@dberardo-com just wanted to say thanks, your posts above have helped me to get the plugin to work!

from fail2ban.

Following @dberardo-com comment, I think that this issue could be related to Traefik itself and not to this plugin. Thus, I will close this issue.

If you think I am wrong, feel free to open a new issue documenting your use case !

from fail2ban.

it could be made clearer in the documentation that the fail2ban logs will only be visible when the Traefik logs are set to DEBUG?

For sure, feel free to open a PR to improve the documentation !
