Fail2ban disabled on v60 #2187

Open cinergi2 opened 2 years ago

cinergi2 commented 2 years ago

After installing mailinabox v60 on a new Ubuntu 22.04 VPS and restoring the backup from the previous installation, Fail2ban is disabled and not loaded. It must be loaded and enabled manually:

sudo service fail2ban start sudo systemctl enable fail2ban

Can confirm, on a fresh install had to start+enable fail2ban.

Although vendor preset is enabled, the service is disabled. Don't know why, but a simple sudo systemctl enable fail2ban will enable it.
