  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved fail2ban configuration via CLI?

HostaHost

Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.38
Is there a method of listing/enabling/disabling fail2ban jails via command line?
 
Thanks! I was concerned about using these on a Plesk managed fail2ban instance since we don't know if it keeps its own version of the config in the psa db or elsewhere to facilitate rebuilding it if needed, but the commands on that page lead me to a kb article that had the relevant Plesk commands:


plesk bin ip_ban...

Plesk created a nice GUI to manage fail2ban, it reads the plain text files located in /etc/fail2ban/* and shows them in the control panel.

There are some tables in the Plesk database related to ip_ban/fail2ban, but these are not used for config settings, so it's safe to use the original fail2ban commands, which are also a lot easier to remember.
