Immich all the way my dude.

I would never go back installing something without docker. Never.

Not enough engineer lol They also don’t have enough people working in ethics too.

I wasn’t sure of the word. Cute is very good to describe this!

FOR SCIENCE!1!!

1 db per stack. Not worth your time to secure, configure and debug one big db.

I open 443 and 80 on my router and forward it to a reverse proxy.

I have a couple of service that are exposed but most of them make sense only when I’m home so I whitelist private IP address on my reverse proxy.

If you do.your basic security such as updating your servers and services and not having dumb password, you shouldn’t be afraid. Think about it, all of the services that you use is exposed on the internet. I did work for big company and they don’t do much more than what you would probably do, except maybe having some automated monitoring that flag weird stuff. But hey, aside from bots, I don’t think Russian hackers are interested in your stuff. Stay low profile with your exposed things and it’s gonna be alright. Make sure you backup.

Wow, I’ll look into this, thanks !

The hard part is the network. Everything is different with different ISP. The DNS is another challenge, you need to buy your ‘internet real estate’ and have it work correctly if your IP change.

Security is another challenge but I think it’s easier to notice unusual traffic from your basement server than from a mega-tech-bro-corporation. There’s probably some easy software that could do that.

I would love to do this but I’m afraid of exposing my home IP to the world of spammer and what not. Did you selfhost on a cloud provider or did you do it from your home ? How crazy does the security need to be around Lemmy instance ? I really feel like it’s a beacon of come hack me if you can!
