Built-in CODE server triggers mod-evasive

I installed the built-in CODE server in Nextcloud to try to simplify my systems management. I was able to get one document up, but any further attempts to open any document resulted in “Server has disconnected.” and a “You has left.” messages.

After some troubleshooting, I tracked it down to using the mod-evasive module in my Apache installation. When I turned off mod-evasive, it worked fine.

Unfortunately, without mod-evasive, I’m seeing many more attempts on my web-server. It doesn’t appear that mod-evasive can be configured by page served, only by connection attempts per IP.

Has anyone else experienced this? Have you gotten around it some way?
