Fail2Ban Setup

[Woogie20]

Hello community,

I am hoping someone can help me with configuring Fail2Ban for Mealie, as I am currently at a lost. I know the online documentation says the following but I am unsure what to make of it.

Use      datepattern : %d-%b-%y %H:%M:%S : Day-MON-Year2 24hour:Minute:Second
Use   failregex line : ^ERROR:\s+Incorrect username or password from <HOST>

So far I have made a file in /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/mealie.local that reads:

[mealie]

backend = auto
enabled = true
port = 9925,9000
#protocol = tcp
filter = mealie
maxretry = 3
bantime = 86400
findtime = 43200
logpath = /opt/docker/mealie/app/data/mealie.log
action = iptables-allports[name=mealie, chain=DOCKER-USER]
banaction = docker-action

And I have made a filter in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/mealie.conf that reads:

[Definition]
failregex = ^Incorrect username or password from <ADDR>$
datepattern = %d-%b-%y %H:%M:%S
ignoreregex =

I know there is a lot here that probably doesn't matter and/or make sense. I have been scouring the internet trying to make this work and cobbling together pieces from various sites. Any help would be amazingly appreciated!
