Yes, it is detecting curl by the user agent - by using the "page rules" in Cloudflare. Cloudflare is good for traffic management rules. I've created this distribution channel as an experiment and for my own need - I use it to download and install ClickHouse without the need of package manager. So I don't need to run "apt update" to install ClickHouse. It works if the package manager is broken, and it works well on very old servers, and rare Linux distributions. It is using the fresh build from the master branch. I have also created a website for my team to monitor the status of the continuous integration system: https://aretestsgreenyet.com/ https://aretestsgreenyet.com/ We also have deb, rpm, tgz and Docker as wrappers for the release builds.

Thanks for the explanation :D

Interesting - for me broken package manager is indicator of that server to be fixed or reprovisioned, I'd be wondered to see some DB running on such kind of server - highly likely it's missing updates as well

  Totally agree. But it's usually more complicated. For example, MongoDB supports Ubuntu 20.04, but not 22.04: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb... Or another example - folks in a large company successfully running Ubuntu 12.04 in production for 10 years and cannot upgrade it because some Perl dependencies of their amalgamation of microservices working slightly differently.

Hmm, how do you create this "page rule" in Cloudflare? I can't seem to figure it out.
