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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

A few days late, but I have a pretty similar usecase to you on https://forgejo.ellis.link/. My solution is go-away, https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away, which just sits as a reverse proxy in between traefik and Forgejo. I haven't enabled fancy stuff like TLS fingerprinting. It's been effective enough at killing the bots downloading archives and DDoSing the server from residential IPs. My config is based on the example Forgejo config, but with a few tweaks. Too long to post here, though, so message me if you need access
For now I feel disabling archives and my simple list of bots to drop in Nginx seems to work very well, it doesn't create the archives anymore and the load went down also on the server.
