Fail2ban Web Control is a lightweight web-based control panel for managing Fail2ban.
It allows you to:
- View global Fail2ban status
- Inspect jails and their metrics
- Ban and unban IP addresses
- Control Fail2ban server actions
The application communicates directly with the Fail2ban UNIX socket.
Choose one of the following:
- Current and total failed attempts
- Current and total banned IPs
- List of monitored log files
- Ban / unban IPs
- Extra jail parameters (bantime, findtime, etc.)
If log files are mounted into the container, they can be viewed and monitored.
Full API documentation:
If you see:
Permission denied
Ensure the process/container has access to the Fail2ban socket.
