CDN Cloudflare how to set and preserve the real IP of the client without modifying application code on Apache
Your frontend CDN (eg. Cloudflare or even your own load balancer/proxy) must be sending the X-Forwarded-For and you must be running Apache on the backend.
This solves the problem where your logs and services will only see the proxy/CDN IP and not the real client IP.
mod_rpaf will fix all of this
This solution transparently sets the real IP of the client for Apache and any services that rely on........

If you get this error, it is often because you have configured Apache with modules that weren't actually installed. Eg. you try to load the PHPmodule but didn't actually install the apache2 php module, so the server can't start. In general, this error can often be caused by issues with problematic modules and/or Apache being configured for modules that have not actually be installed (eg. libapache2-mod-php) is missing.

How To Setup Python3 in Ubuntu Docker Image for AI Deep Learning
