I’ve got a couple builds failing due to rubygem rate limiting. (One at Digital Ocean, another at a COLO outside Boston).
I thought that there was a recent update to the base Docker image that was supposed to mitigate this. It’s hard to find the error in the output too, since lots of stuff happens after those errors.
If you have a build that failed, you might search for “429 Too Many Requests”.
A year ago, the answer was:
> [@Update failing due to rate limiting by RubyGems](https://meta.discourse.org/t/update-failing-due-to-rate-limiting-by-rubygems/64636/34):
>
> I conferred with the bundler folks about this issue and **they told me it was a known issue with older versions of bundler. If your users update their bundler version, the issue should go away.**
>
> The errors are actually fastly throttling individual users, which as you might expect means that those versions of bundler are sending A LOT of requests.
Perhaps there has been a regression in `bundler`?

We bumped the image quite recently … I think only 3 gems changed since the last base image.

I’m still getting 218 requests. I commented out non-standard plugins. Then all plugins. I’ve done a `git pull` (which is superfluous given the number of builds I’ve attempted). It’s still doing 218 `HTTP GET`s.

To where 😊 what are the URLs, we need to figure out if this is just a general rubygems bug or this is legit discourse being out of data locally.

Yeah I don’t think there is anything we can do here, maybe @indirect has some tips here. I definitely don’t want to be hammering rubygems, but we got to do a `bundle` on bootstrap.

Is there an easy way to put a proxy in the middle and/or put some delay between the requests? Do you guys get all your stuff directly from rubygems?

I think to get into rubygems bad books you need to be mega offensive, we only bootstrap once for our internal deploys and reuse a base image so we never hit this.

Just to be super clear: those 255 requests are completely normal and correct, and I have never heard of anyone getting 429 rate limited for that kind of install. Our rate limits kick in for hundreds or thousands of requests per second for hours or days. If you think you’ve been wrongly rate limited, open a ticket at [Sign in to GitHub · GitHub](http://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/issues/new) and someone from the [rg.org](http://rg.org) team will take a look.

Thanks, @indirect. I have done lots of rebuilds on this machine, but only a couple hundred requests per manually started build (which look normal and expected to both you and me).
Could some bad actor on the same network be the problem? (I know that I had this problem on another machine, but I can’t remember now where that machine was).
Here are the 429s I got on that same build:

You got to open a ticket on GitHub with RubyGems, its kind of a waste to do any more diagnostics here.

Well, that wasn’t as helpful as we might have liked.

Well, I tried building it on another machine on the same subnet and it failed too.
I don’t see any way that I could be using the old bundler, as I’m pulling the current Discourse image from Docker, right?
I’m pretty perplexed. I’ll see if I can find the other instance that was failing.

I am confused, can you link me to the issue you opened?

I got around this problem by temporary limiting the server’s bandwidth using [wondershaper](https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper). This is just a shell script which simplifies handling of iproute’s `tc` command.
Example at Ubuntu 18.04: limit bandwidth to ancient 2048 kBit download and 512 kBit upload like this:
```plaintext
wondershaper -a eth0 -d 2048 -u 512
```
Don’t forget to reset it after successfully bootstrapping Discourse:
```plaintext
wondershaper -c -a eth0
```
You just need the shell script `wondershaper` by the way. No need to install any service.

Well, now they say they fixed a problem.

Hi,
To correct the problem I used 2 options:
- Set up a cache with gemirro ([GitHub - PierreRambaud/gemirro: Gem to automatically make a rubygems mirror. · GitHub](https://github.com/PierreRambaud/gemirro)) then overloaded templates / web.template.yml with a
- Or in templates / web.template.yml modified the number of jobs at the ‘bundle install’
