Hello all, Over the past year we've got increasingly ridiculous traffic on our Linode S3 buckets, and it's becoming unbearable. We have one bucket for our test VM images and one for our test logs and artifacts. Unfortunately, we only get a summary of the traffic, not a breakdown by bucket, so we can't tell which one is causing the excess traffic. But we strongly suspect AI scrapers, which cause traffic problems on a lot of web sites these days 😢
As a first measure, I made our test VM images private, so that you now need a token to download them. Many of our regular contributors already have one, but if you don't yet, please contact me by email or Matrix (pitti in https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#cockpit:fedoraproject.org), and I can set up a token for you. The test logs/artifacts are much smaller, but also much more tightly linked all over the place from GitHub, bug trackers, etc., so I'll restrict them as well by placing an Anubis[1] proxy in front of them. Then we can wait for a month and see if the traffic goes down. Then we can gradually open up public access to the test images again to see which type causes the most traffic. You can follow the status on https://issues.redhat.com/browse/COCKPIT-1288 Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your understanding!
