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.

NAS vulnerabilities (www.theregister.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Cyber@feddit.uk to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I'd just post it here...

It's more to act as a reminder that if you've got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it's behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed.

Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: CVE-2024-2947 - just an example, not bashing that project at all.

I've used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I'd be interested to know if there's other options that I've not heard of

I mean I'm not blaming anyone other than the manufacturers who make things and then arbitrarily decide to stop supporting them while they're still perfectly usable, leaving basically no choice other than trashing and buying a new one.

Agreed.

If the hardware's standard, then it's possible for people (us) to keep these things out of the ground / incinerator for a few more years, but if it's custom / proprietary stuff, then that's just terrible.
