Hi. I want to use systemd as fastcgi spawner for gitweb + nginx. The traffic is low and number of users is limited + traversal bots. For that reason I've decided to use following mimimal services gitweb.socket: [Unit] Description=GitWeb Socket [Socket] ListenStream=/run/gitweb.sock Accept=false [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target gitweb.service: [Unit] Description=GitWeb Service [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/path/to/gitweb.cgi --fcgi StandardInput=socket However this scheme is not resistant to simple DDOS. E.g. traversal bots often kill the service by opening non existing path (e.g http://host/?p=repo;a=blob;f=nonexisting/path;hb=HEAD showing in browser 404 - Cannot find file) many times consecutively, which leads to Apr 03 21:32:10 host systemd[1]: gitweb.service: Start request repeated too quickly. Apr 03 21:32:10 host systemd[1]: gitweb.service: Failed with result 'start-limit-hit'. Apr 03 21:32:10 host systemd[1]: Failed to start GitWeb service. in journal and 502 Bad Gateway in browser. Could someone please show me how to correct this issue?
