@girish @nebulon I get a line 83: /usr/bin/curl: Argument list too long

this is related to curl . I don't know the answer but you can look for posts similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54090784/curl-argument-list-too-long where you have to pass the args as a file instead of on the command line itself.

I tried that in the beginning but got this error:

{
  "status": "Bad Request",
  "message": "blocklist must be a string"
}

@robi I did a check and somehow the browser is able to do a POST with the huge string ...

imc67

Again ChatGPT did it!!! It's really unbelievable how "patient" it is and after keep trying all it's variants (after feedback the errors) and asking if there is another way except curl it came with wget and after the second try it worked!

imc67

use at your own risk and be aware that with this long list it takes 1,5 minute to process the API call (same as in the GUI), replace the API input and copy/paste it in a .sh file (don't forget to make it executable). It's works but it's not perfect.

@imc67 thanks for this! Have you seen duplicate entries if you apply the method more than once?

imc67

Every time you execute the script the existing list is replaced by the newly generated version. There might be duplicates at generating the list because IP’s from the first two URL’s can exist in the later ones but that’s not a problem for me.

necrevistonnezr

Thanks again!
I just tried this - it generated merged_list_20240110_091244.txt and formatted_merged_list_20240110_091244.txt but somehow, the temp_data.txt is not generated, and therefore the upload is not successful?

BTW, here's your script with english comments and filenames:

Sorry for the Dutch language in the script, ChatGPT is wonderfully writing Dutch without asking haha.

Strange it doesn't seem to work, I extended the script later to upload it in one run to 3 different Cloudrons and that also works perfect. The part of creating the temp_data.txt is exactly the same.

Do you see the prompt "# Upload to Cloudron Blocklist API with wget..."?
What happens after that prompt is showed?
It takes with these lists about 1,5 minute (on a AMD EPYC 7702P 64-Core Processor with 32GB memory) to process it via API so you have to have some patience (This is however exactly the same time like when you use the copy/paste in the GUI).
After the script is finished the temp_data.txt is deleted, did the script ever finished?
I execute the script in a LAMP app (on one of the Cloudrons) with only 256MB memory
last maybe a stupid question but you've set the API token to "read/write"?

I just executed the script (my 3 Cloudrons version) en after about 5 minutes all 3 Cloudrons had the new lists with 60562 IPs (ranges) blocked.

I executed the script with sh script.sh instead of bash script.sh - after doing the latter it worked!
Thanks again.

BTW the output.txt only contains {}...?

aha ok, I always use ./script.sh

indeed output.txt also with me contains no data, as I read the script the right way it should contain errors during wget

necrevistonnezr

Super!
I have used this script now via cron and everything seems to work fine, including a significant reduction of "denied" mail attempts in the mail log.

I've added the following lines to keep the last 20 url lists, compressed with 7z (which I prefer for compression), for analysis (if needed):

7z a -mx9 "${current_datetime}.7z" "formatted_$output_file"
rm "formatted_$output_file"
rm "$output_file"
ls -td *.7z | grep -v '/$' | tail -n +20 | while IFS= read -r f; do rm -f "$f"; do>

Also: If you use the script, don't just blindly add url-lists. I already managed to lock myself out once by adding the "standard" Firehol list (https://iplists.firehol.org/files/firehol_level1.netset)
