Unblocking IP that got banned by fail2ban via CLI

MrScreemi

Can anybody tell me how i can unban an IP that got banned by fail2ban via CLI?

As i understand f2b runs in the docker container and not on the main system. That is why a straight

sudo fail2ban-client set JAIL unbanip IP_ADDRESS

does not work.

Any suggestions? Help is highly appreciated!

Danke. Heißt ich muss mir ein eigenes script zusammenbasteln, um mit der api in der fail2ban ip liste Änderungen vorzunehmen wenn ich mich aus der GUI ausgesperrt habe? Damn.

Edit: sorry. forgot that i posted in the english sub.

Edit2: had an pending update and installed it. afterwards the fail2ban ip list was flushed. is that intended this way?

I guess you have to read the whole list, delete the IP you want to exempt, and then reupload the edited list.

And little notice. MC does not use fail2ban as you know, just using this name for general knowledge. MC have own solution called netfilter as container. Basically it’s python script as wrapper around nf/iptables. (Git)
