  • The firewalld direct interface is deprecated and will be removed in a
    future release[1]. Recently IPv4 connectivity inside docker containers
    on our runners broke and after some troubleshooting, the issue was
    pinpointed to the start of the fail2ban service. We also had issues in
    the past where sometimes firewalld had to be restarted after boot before
    network connectivity worked in libvirt on our runners.
    
    The issuse may be due to a bug in the way fail2ban use the direct
    interface, a bug in firewalld or a combination thereof. Let's just avoid
    the direct interface altogether and create a clean separation, with
    firewalld handling the blocking and fail2ban maintaining the ipset.
