Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

Both. Some things are only resolvable internally or over wireguard. Some things are publicly accessible via a reverse proxy.

Overseerr, bitwarden, plex all have ports open or through the reverse proxy. Same with email and a few other services. All the *arrs are accessible only on my network or over VPN.

this is the way.

also fail2ban to ensure that nobody bruteforce it's way in.

Curious why you keep the arrs internal only, when there are things like Authelia that could secure access to them?

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because no one needs access externally. Overseerr is public facing and passes the requests to the arrs.

It's not about secure access, it's that no one outside my house, me included, really needs access to them at all.
