Recent Activity Analysis

The BunkerWeb project currently has 57 open issues on GitHub, indicating a steady stream of user engagement and feedback. Recent activity shows a mix of bug reports and feature requests, with notable issues related to the integration of Let's Encrypt, ModSecurity configurations, and performance concerns.

Notable Issues and Themes

1. Configuration and Integration Issues: A recurring theme is the difficulty users face when configuring services, particularly with Let's Encrypt and ModSecurity. For instance, issues #279 and #256 highlight problems with certificate generation when MULTISITE=no, suggesting that users are struggling to adapt to recent changes in configuration requirements.

2. Performance Concerns: Several users have reported high CPU usage (issue #415) and slow response times when applying changes through the web UI (issue #694). This indicates potential inefficiencies in how BunkerWeb handles configuration updates or manages resources.

3. Whitelist Functionality: Multiple issues (#275, #448) indicate that whitelisting IP addresses does not function as expected, leading to unintended bans. This suggests a need for improved handling of security features to ensure legitimate traffic is not erroneously blocked.

4. User Interface Challenges: Users have expressed frustration with the web UI's inability to handle certain configurations effectively (#268, #612). The UI often fails to reflect changes made in the backend or does not allow for easy modifications.

5. Documentation Gaps: There are calls for clearer documentation regarding configuration processes, especially for new users transitioning from older versions (issue #558). Users have found it challenging to navigate the changes introduced in version 1.5.0.

Grouped Issues

• Configuration Management: Issues related to custom configurations not being saved or applied correctly.
• Security Features: Problems with whitelisting and bad behavior detection affecting user access.
• User Experience: Feedback on the web UI's functionality and ease of use.
