If the rate limit is exceeded, Caddy will return a HTTP 429 ("Too Many Requests"), with a `Retry-After` header, to encourage them to come back to our little maze. Rate limiting is keyed by user agent, because most crawlers use *many* hosts to crawl a site at the same time, where each would remain well under reasonable limits - but together, they're a massive pain.

This section deals with deployment, configuration is documented in the main [README.md](../README.md#configuration). - -
-Deploying with systemd - -See the [`data/iocaine.service`](../data/iocaine.service) for a systemd service template. To use it, install `iocaine` somewhere, and copy the service file to `/etc/systemd/system/`, and edit it so it references the binary you installed, and the configuration file you prepared. - -When done editing, you can `systemctl daemon-reload` (as root, of course), followed by `systemctl start iocaine`. If everything went well, you're done. - -The provided systemd service tries to restrict the tool as much as possible, and uses `DynamicUser=true`, meaning that no user will need to be created, systemd will take care of it. - -
- -
-Deploying without systemd - -To deploy without systemd, the easiest path is to create a dedicated user: - -```shell -useradd -m iocaine -``` - -Then, place the `iocaine` binary and the configuration you prepared into this user's `$HOME`: - -```shell -mkdir -p $HOME/iocaine -cp iocaine config.toml $HOME/iocaine/ -``` - -Then, you can run it like this: - -```shell -su -l -u iocaine /home/iocaine/iocaine/iocaine --config-file /home/iocaine/iocaine/config.toml -``` - -
- -
-Deploying via Docker - -There's an automatically built container image, for those who may wish to try - or deploy - `iocaine` via Docker. The best way to use it, is likely via `docker compose`. An example of that is provided in [`data/compose.yaml`](../data/compose.yaml). - -To use it, place the word list and the training text in `data/container-volume`, and then you can simply start things up like this: - -```shell -docker compose up -d -``` - -Voila! - -
- -
-Deploying on NixOS - -Deploying under NixOS is made simple by using the nixosModule provided by this repository's flake. It takes care of setting up the `systemd` service, sufficiently hardened, so all that is required of you is to enable the service, and configure the sources. - -```nix -{ - inputs = { - nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; - iocaine = { - url = "git+https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/iocaine.git"; - inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; - }; - }; - - outputs = { ... }@inputs: { - nixosConfigurations = { - your-hostname = inputs.nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem { - inherit inputs; - }; - modules = [ - inputs.iocaine.nixosModules.default - ( - { - inputs, - lib, - config, - pkgs, - ... - }: - { - services.iocaine = { - enable = true; - config = { - sources = { - words = "${pkgs.scowl}/share/dict/wamerican.txt"; - markov = [ - "/some/path/to/a/training-document.txt" - ]; - }; - }; - }; - } - ) - ]; - }; - }; -} -``` - -
- -## Configuring the reverse proxy - -While `iocaine` itself is good at generating garbage, it will do so indiscriminately. That's not what we want. We want it to generate garbage only when facing unwanted crawlers, and that's a task `iocaine` delegates to the reverse proxy. In the paragraphs below, I will show examples for [nginx](https://nginx.org) and [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/). - -As I am a recent Caddy convert, the Caddy example will be more complete - sorry! - -### nginx - -Lets assume that we have a site running at `[::1]:8080`, and we want to serve that `nginx`. Normally, that would look something like this: - -```nginx -server { - server_name blog.example.com; - - location / { - proxy_set_header Host $host; - proxy_pass http://[::1]:8080; - } -} -``` - -To serve something different for AI user agents, the idea is to create a mapping between user-agent and badness, such that AI agents will evaluate to a truthy value, while unmatched against will default to a false-y one. We can do this with a `map` outside of the `server` block: - -``` nginx -map $http_user_agent $badagent { - default 0; - ~*gptbot 1; - ~*chatgpt 1; - ~*ccbot 1; - ~*claude 1; -} -``` - -Within the `server` block, we'll rewrite the URL if find a match on `$badagent`, and the proxy *that* location through to `iocaine`. The reason we need the `rewrite` is that `nginx` does not support `proxy_pass` within an `if` block. In the end, our `server` block will look like this: - - -```nginx -server { - server_name blog.example.com; - if ($badagent) { - rewrite ^ /ai; - } - location /ai { - proxy_set_header Host $host; - proxy_pass 127.0.0.1:42069; - } - location / { - proxy_set_header Host $host; - proxy_pass http://[::1]:8080; - } -} -``` - -### Caddy - -Lets assume that we have a site running at `[::1]:8080`, and we want to serve that `Caddy`. Normally, that would look something like this: - -```caddyfile -blog.example.com { - reverse_proxy [::1]:8080 -} -``` - -To serve `iocaine`'s garbage to AI visitors, what we need is a matcher, and a matched `reverse_proxy`: - -```caddyfile -blog.example.com { - @ai { - header_regexp user-agent (?i:gptbot|chatgpt|ccbot|claude) - } - reverse_proxy @ai 127.0.0.1:42069 - reverse_proxy [::1]:8080 -} -``` - -We can do even better than this, though! We can apply rate limits using [caddy-ratelimit](https://github.com/mholt/caddy-ratelimit)! Unfortunately, that leads to a slightly more complex configuration, involving a bit of repetition, but one we can mitigate with a snippet. Lets start with that: - -```caddyfile -(ai-bots) { - header_regexp user-agent (?i:gptbot|chatgpt|ccbot|claude) -} -``` - -This is essentially the same thing as the `@ai` matcher, lifted out. The reason it had to be lifted out, is because the same matcher will have to be reused in slightly differring contexts, including ones where I can't use a named matcher. It sounds more complicated than it is, really, so let me show the final result: - -```caddyfile -blog.example.com { - rate_limit { - zone ai-bots { - match { - import ai-bots - } - key {remote_host} - events 16 - window 1m - } - } - - @ai { - import ai-bots - } - @not-ai { - not { - import ai-bots - } - } - - reverse_proxy @ai 127.0.0.1:42069 - reverse_proxy @not-ai [::1]:8080 -} -``` - -This does two things: it routes AI user-agents to `iocaine`, and applies a 16 request / minute rate limit to the remote hosts these originated from. If the rate limit is exceeded, Caddy will return a HTTP 429 ("Too Many Requests"), with a `Retry-After` header, to encourage them to come back to our little maze. diff --git a/docs/sass/custom.scss b/docs/sass/custom.scss new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f97f374 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/sass/custom.scss @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ + .hero section { + padding: 0 5rem; + } + .hero *, .logo-link div, header nav .nav-item { + color: var(--header-text-color); + } + .logo-link:hover div, header nav .nav-item:hover { + color: var(--header-text-color-over); + } + .hero h1 { + text-shadow: black 3px 3px; + } + @media screen and (max-width: 768px) { + .hero section { + padding: 0 2rem; + } + .hero-image { + display: none + } + } + +.logo, header nav .nav-item { + font-family: "Monaspace Neon"; + text-shadow: black 2px 2px; +} + +@font-face { + font-family: et-book; + src: local("ETBembo"), + url("https://pages.madhouse-project.org/fonts/et-book-roman-line-figures.woff") + format("woff"); + font-weight: normal; + font-style: normal; + font-display: swap; +} + +@font-face{ + font-family: et-book; + src: local("ETBembo, Regular Italic"), + url("https://pages.madhouse-project.org/fonts/et-book-display-italic-old-style-figures.woff") + format("woff"); + font-weight: normal; + font-style: italic; + font-display: swap; +} + +@font-face { + font-family: et-book; + src: local("ETBembo, Bold"), + url("https://pages.madhouse-project.org/fonts/et-book-bold-line-figures.woff") + format("woff"); + font-weight: bold; + font-style: normal; + font-display: swap; +} + +@font-face { + font-family: "Monaspace Neon"; + src: local("Monaspace Neon"), + url("https://pages.madhouse-project.org/fonts/MonaspaceNeon-Regular.woff") + format("woff"); + font-weight: normal; + font-style: normal; + font-display: swap; +} diff --git a/docs/templates/_macros.html b/docs/templates/_macros.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..74b3465 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/templates/_macros.html @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +{% macro render_header() %} +{% set section = get_section(path="_index.md") %} + + + + + +{% endmacro render_header %} diff --git a/docs/templates/_variables.html b/docs/templates/_variables.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1ffa2c0 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/templates/_variables.html @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ + diff --git a/docs/templates/index.html b/docs/templates/index.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5ad1d6b --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/templates/index.html @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +{% extends "juice/templates/index.html" %} +{% block hero %} +
