Restore Freshrss on a clean server break fail2ban

[gwen-lg]

Describe the bug

After restoring a full backup of yunohost with freshrss app installed, fail2ban don't start.

Context

• Hardware: dedicated server
• YunoHost version: 11.2.5
• I have access to my server: Through SSH | through the webadmin
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance?: no
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch:1.22.1~ynh1

Steps to reproduce

• On a yunohost with freshrss, create a full backup

  sudo yunohost backup create

• On a clean server (other server), restore the backup instead of post install

  sudo yunohost backup restore <name of backup>

• after the backup is restored, fail2ban failed to run with error :
  • fail2ban [6382]: ERROR Failed during configuration: Have not found any log file for freshrss jail
  • fail2ban [6382]: ERROR Async configuration of server failed

Fix the problem

To fix the problem, the file /var/log/${domaine}-access.log should be re-created (or restored)

Expected behavior

The freshrss app shouldn't break the fail2ban service. The file /var/log/${domaine}-access.log should be available

What is the best solution ?

• add the file/var/log/${domaine}-access.log in backup ?
• create the file if missing during restore ?

Hello, In my case, the logfile exists but FreshRSS indicate the wrong location. In the restore script, log file is indicated at /var/log/ but the real location of the logfile is at /var/log/nginx/ A SymLink corrects this situation temporarily but a restore script correction would be better 🙂
