Run your hosting inside a docker container. If someone were to hack you they, in theory, would only have access to whatever is in that container and not your entire server. Someone with more expertise please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I am not an expert in this, just offering what I (think I) know.
Exactly. Even if they make it into your network (which would be somewhat unlikely already, since CF obfuscates your home IP), as long as you don't run your docker containers in "privileged" mode (or give the containers RW access to important directories on your server), you'd be fine except for the most end-of-world scenarios.
