Is this because your Gitlab is offline?

Yes, the git system has been under a DOS attack since yesterday. I'll have to see what I can do about that.
Seems the scraper bots of the AI companies go wild at the moment, downloading every bit and commit message etc. from every GitLab repo they find. There are more reports of GitLab instances becoming unusable due to that at the moment. For the moment, it's working again. I will see how to restrict them from using up our server resources.
Hi, Thanks for letting us know this. However, according to the official installation guide, the ISPConfig installation still fails, even after setting the hostname and updating the system.

Please share if you find a solution. I host a rather popular forum (on apache) that suffers from ai bots too from time to time. Haven't found a workable solution yet.
@Wade Z It should be working again. The overload on GitLab also affected various build processes that run at night.
Yes, will do. This is what has been suggested to me: https://anubis.techaro.lol/ I have not tested that yet.
It's actually my suggestion. This is a well respected piece of open source software and is used from alot of big projects for example: The GNOME Project's GitLab instance The Linux kernel mailing list archives and Git server sourceware.org FFmpeg FreeBSD FreeDesktop Wine UNESCO The Science Olympiad Student Center Enlightenment FreeCAD Krantenbank Zeeland ScummVM So there is really no need to worry
