Then edit `jail.conf` to add "gitblit" service (Debian: `/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf`). For example:
[gitblit]
enabled = true
- port = 22
+ port = 443,29418
protocol = tcp
filter = gitblit
logpath = /var/log/gitblit.log
-Restart fail2ban to apply (Debian: `/etc/init.d/fail2ban restart`).

+Reload fail2ban config to apply (`fail2ban-client reload`).

+Check the status of the gitblit fail2ban jail with `fail2ban-client status gitblit`
