Request: Is it possible to not send nginx access.log to dev/nul

[airdogvan]

So I can mount that file and have fail2ban keep an eye.

Yes, nginx access logs already are written to a file (/var/log/nginx/access.log) but inside the container. You could mount this access.log to a volume or host folder, and then expose that to fail2ban.

See: #2190

Alternatively to @SchoNie solution, you can configure Docker to use a different logging driver (syslogd for instance) for the containers whose logs you want analysed by fail2ban.

Thanks for the trouble. I thought I searched and didn't find anything. Must have searched with wrong terms...
