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.

I'm just a novice at self hosting and I see a lot of talk about the risks of exposing stuff to the world. Here's my setup:

-Rpi4 hosting Overseerr
-Desktop computer hosting Nginx and some Cloudflare DDNS update containers

Cloudflare directs request.domain.com to my home IP address. Nginx forces HTTPS and directs the request to the Pi.

Is there any risk in this setup or are there more steps I can take to secure it?

@jws_shadotak Make sure no ports other than 80 and 443 are exposed from the outside and force everything through https
