forwarding port 22 safe? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] dev_all_the_ops@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Port forwarding will work, but it has major downsides

  1. Will draw attention of bots
  2. Secure as long as there are no security holes in openssh (which is rare but has happened)
  3. You _must_ harden the ssh server by disabling password auth, putting behind fail2ban

There are far better and safer alternatives that I would recommend over exposing a raw port to the world.

  1. Tailscale
  2. Wireguard/OpenVPN
Is Ubuntu Server and SFTP enough? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

Use Samba.

If you want a GUI for samba on ubuntu checkout

- casaos

- open media vault

Is there a way to home host a cloud easily? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] dev_all_the_ops@alien.top 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

CasaOS is about as easy as it gets.

curl -fsSL https://get.casaos.io | sudo bash

It provides a gui front end for docker. You can install it on any debian based system (which mint is). Combine that with the portainer app and there isn't much you can't do.

What operating system do you use for your home server? I’m planning to do unraid but what are the other options and why would you pick one or another? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

If you want a beautiful front end for docker containers

CasaOS/ZimaOS Cosmos-server Unbrel

Otherwise

  • proxmox
  • truenas
  • unraid
What is the point of Casaos ? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] dev_all_the_ops@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Casaos is new. It is pretty similar to portainer. It is still a pretty frontend for debian targeted twards tinkerers.

The end goal is for ZimaOS to replace/supliment CasaOS which is intended to be a more direct competitor to Synology/QNAP software. ZimaOS will be the OS released on their ZimaCube Kickstarter

As others have mentioned there are competitors like Cosmos-server and Umbrel. CasaOS/ZimaOS has a pretty strong company behind it, so the chances it gets abandoned are low. Cosmos and Umbrel are more of a hobby of a few people that may or may not be around 5 years from now.
