While this update is more specific for Container installations, it creates inconsistency with line 21's claim that the integration is only available on Container. If the integration also supports Core (as it originally did), this sentence should accommodate both scenarios. Consider: "In addition, Home Assistant must be able to read the fail2ban log file (for Container installations, the log file must be mounted to the container)."
