A few questions about selfhosting from a newbie

Hi, I recently acquired a pretty solid VPS for a good price, and right now I use it to run Caddy for two personal sites. When I moved to Lemmy I found about this awesome community and it got me really interested in selfhosting. I won’t be asking for tips on what to selfhost (but feel free to add what you use), there’s a lot...

himazawa ,

Don’t expose anything from your local network to the internet (unless you want multiple new sysadmins in your house). Try tailscale instead.

The difference is that you need way more interaction. Expose a webserver on the internet and check how many requests you get from just bots.

You can control what you navigate and how to interact with the outside world, but you can’t control how the outside world will interact with your services.

Perhaps images, video, font etc. rendering could be compromised?

Yes, it already happen in the past. Also the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stack got exploited, like multiple kernel drivers.

But it shouldn’t be a matter of “in the past was X exploited?” but more on having a correct security posture.

Honestly if you are arguing about wasting a “perfectly working phone” you should blame it on the vendor, especially Android devices vendors have this let’s say “defect” of dropping the support after 4/5 years.

Also not going to talk about custom ROMs (with the super rare exclusion of some) managed by god knows who, without any security team behind.

Since even the NFC and Cellular Network stack got vulnerabilities the only way you would consider an old phone “safe” to use is just turning it into the equivalent of a local ARM server.

Also pretty fun seeing the replies in the original post talking about how Google Play store shouldn’t have malware on it.

Do anyone knows if it support local-only without joining the p2p network?

himazawa ,

I was thinking about that just today, I have something like 30+ services running on a single compose file and maintenance is slowly becoming hard. Probably moving to multiple compose file.

I use the Inbox-Zero method
