Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

And what was the reason for blocking them? What is unbearable?

They cause a huge amount of load, deteriorating the service for everyone else. I'm also guessing the time ranges in the graph, where there's no data, is when OP's server crashed from the load and had to restart.

That kind of shit can easily trigger alerting and will look like a DDoS attack. I would be pissed, too, if I dropped everything to see why my server is going down and it's not even proper criminals, but rather just some silicon valley cunts.

Thanks for your time explaining. I have multiple public facing services and I never had any issues with load just because of some crawlers. That’s why I always wonder why people get so mad at them
