Blocking Bad Bots With AbuseIPD Blacklist
Sean Connor at The Boston Diaries wrote about trying to block annoying and/or malicious bots from crawling his website. It is a good read. Beginning in late 2024, I started noticing The New Leaf Journal going down periodically. The server logs suggested that it was being overrun by bots and crawlers. I tried various methods to ensure that NLJ would be up all the time, including fiddling with Apache configs and my .htaccess file. I stumbled upon the "solution" (for now, at least) in late […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/blocking-bad-bots-with-abuseipd-blacklist-04-08-26/

With #Cloudron 9.1 we introduced a simpler way for people to share per-built app packages also allowing package devs to publish updates which get automatically (if wanted of course) picked up and installed by other Cloudrons 📦

Attention please, I would like to get opinions on this question from people who actually use #Cloudron, and aren’t just aware that it’s proprietary software which is what originally put me off of it all the way back in 2016:
Is Cloudron actually good? 🙂
Using Cloudron’s IP Firewall
This site is hosted on the same server as The New Leaf Journal, and I use Cloudron to manage the server. Beginning around early spring last year, The New Leaf Journal began to crash once every few days when Cloudron health checks failed (I have not had any similar issues with this site, which is much lower traffic). I attributed the problems to bot traffic, and I think I was correct to do so. I tried many fixes, some of which worked for a time before the downtime problems returned. After […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/using-cloudrons-ip-firewall-01-30-26/
