Fail2ban being stupid as usual … The file should have been created here but maybe got rotated …

Anyway you can run :

touch /var/log/piwigoFailedLogins.log
systemctl restart fail2ban

I get the message

admin@siggi200:~$ touch /var/log/piwigoFailedLogins.log
touch: cannot touch ‘/var/log/piwigoFailedLogins.log’: Permission denied

Try with sudo:

sudo touch /var/log/piwigoFailedLogins.log
