Question Fail2Ban In Plesk Rather Than Command Line

Rainnyy

New Pleskian
Hi,

Brand new so if I get things wrong or don't explain fully I apologise in advance...

I currently have a VPS server that I run and have live websites behind, I installed Fail2Ban via command line when I first setup the server however I do have Plesk running on it (v18 obsidian).

I am wondering if I should uninstall it in command line and then reinstall via Plesk so I have a nice Panel to control from/monitor (I want my colleague to be able to access but his ssh is not the best you see).

Basically my question is this:
1. Do I run Fail2Ban in Plesk rather than just standard command line install?
2. How do I go about getting it on Plesk? Do I have to uninstall in command line first then add as the extension and re-setup?
