Home Server Security (sh.itjust.works)

Hey guys,

Currently im just running calibre and nextcloud docker containers over the web, with a ddns from noip and a cloudflare domain. But i also want to setup a vaultwarden container too, so now i need to really consider the security of my server. What are the main things to watch out for? Calibre and nextcloud are just using subdomains, is it okay to have a subdomain to connect to vaultwarden? Am i better off just trusting bitwarden and sticking with them?

Thanks!

I wish It could be so simple for everyone... Docker is great when you have an old spare laptop and want to self host a few nice things: vaultwarden, traefik, searxng... Sure it's relatively new compared to VMs and is going to have some security flaws and reworks during the maturing process... But VMs had also their ups and downs long time ago before It got in a stable maturing state !

VM are nice but we (in my opinion) as human species need to find other solutions to get away from energy, rare metal hungry devices... something in between docker and VMs. But that's just my opinion.

Plus, docker and derivatives are also really interesting technologies where you have to read manuals and gain deep and durable knowledge to understand the future of virtualization.

Totally agree. I think you’ve picked up on an attitude problem I need to fix, as that is keeping me from embracing a really useful technology. You caught me admitting to a bias that I know isn’t always true.
