Description

The docker installation by default (at least for me) has a different timezone than the host OS. Meaning that fail2ban won't ban anything because the 'find time' window has already expired.

Check command

date && docker exec -ti <docker_container> sh -c "date" the output should be the same

Fix

I fixed this by following this comment link

(copied comment for your convenience)

The easiest solution would be share volume in docker-compose.yml like this

volumes:
    - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

ro - means container can only read from /etc/localtime of host-machine.

Suggested changes

This is not discussed in any gitea documentation (that could find at least). So I think this should be added to either: install-with-docker or fail2ban-setup.
I personally think adding it to install-with-docker would be preferable, as I can't think of a reason to NOT have the same timezone for docker containers as the host OS.

Also note that I am very new to docker. So I am not sure that adding /etc/localtime as a volume is the best (or safe) way to fix this.
