Related to DevOps/software-infrastructure#27, this issue tracks the Gitea changes required to remove spam accounts from this server.

  • Require captchas for account creation
  • Require email verification for new accounts
  • Implement email blacklist
  • Purge existing verified spam accounts and repos
  • Implement a cron job to remove unverified accounts periodically
  • Preserve client IP addresses in logs

Existing accounts deleted with:

for i in $(seq 24 123634) # first to last account id

gitea admin user delete --id $i --purge
done

Used dashboard to delete inactivated accounts. This will need to be done periodically while the attack continues.
