Two Google Cloud-launched Perkeep instances looping

Two users have Perkeep instances that seem to be crash looping, repeatedly downloading the Perkeep docker image, costing me about $20/day. (mostly due to me being lazy originally with how we distributed the bytes... we don't conditionally fetch it, and we don't mirror around the world, so now we pay for always-fetched redundant download bandwidth across the ocean)

We'll put the downloads behind a CDN and make the downloading smarter, but in the meantime, if you own one of:

104.154.108.235

35.246.163.66

... could you fix or stop your instances?

I don't want to delete the Google Cloud Storage objects and break other people meanwhile.

(Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like GCS supports per bucket or per object ACLs that support filtering on IP addresses....)

Because I have two perkeep cloud-launched instances, I checked and found that compute engine is stopped on both (no activity for a while).

Both of my instances I use as content addressable datastores to test and demo a blockchain.

I made a test instance on GCP a while ago but deleted it a week or so ago. Double checking, it doesn't seem to be there anymore?

Update on this:

I've made the two GCS objects private for now, to reduce my bandwidth bill.

Also, we're turning down the Perkeep cloud launcher (to create an instance on GCP) & related infrastructure. Logs suggest there are fewer than 5 active users anyway, and it requires a disproportionate amount of work to maintain its DNS server & such.

If you're one of those users and need help modifying your systemd unit files to pull the Docker image from elsewhere, let us know.
