Fair, but you were asking how people approach security for self hosted solutions and I guess I’m challenging why anything needs to be public. Self hosting is typically for your own services which can usually be hidden behind a VPN.
The exception I guess is email, but I never understand why people attempt self hosted mail servers
Don’t expose anything publicly, instead setup wireguard for every VM. Connect your phone, PC etc to the VPN so you have full access without publicly exposing anything.
You may have touched on this but your post was way too long so I only read the headings
I think zero matches means “we weren’t able to find any suitable ads so we don’t give a fuck about you”
It would be more useful to see metrics weighted per active user it’s trivial to update a server if it’s just for yourself, and likewise it’s easy to let it lag a few versions behind.
What’s more relevant is the version number the large instances are running
Indeed, that’s why I use the AGPL license. Corporations hate it because it forces them to give back.
That’s actually pretty reasonable. I’d be happy to make my open source projects compliant for a company - but they can damn well pay me for the effort.
Why do so many projects ignore semantic versioning? It’s so much easier to comprehend changes when versions are major, minor or patch
What a terribly written article. I got half way through and just gave up.
Why would you want any of that in a text editor…?
This thread might be the fastest I’ve ever seen discussion devolve from “that could be interesting” to just incomprehensible screaming.
But only, if you know what you are doing, or if you want to learn about it.
This is the crux of it though. Sure you can tweak your system but the average users doesn’t know what they are doing or where to learn more.
I’m not even convinced OP knows what problem they’re trying to solve
I tried to setup Loki but the documentation was atrocious. Everything was outdated, referring to tools that were marked deprecated but documentation for the replacements just didn’t exist.
Because developing a tool solely for a roundtrip test is probably a waste of time. Perhaps it’s an easier exercise than I think but I would have thought you could manually test it far quicker and more thoroughly than by automating the process
Can’t Linux communities be just as bad? There’s constant bickering over systemd, snaps, canonical, red hat.
Any idea how it’d look if broken down into distros? I’m assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?
I’m not convinced that immutable distros are beginner friendly yet.
About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it
Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!
I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.
The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.
Some right wingers are upset that in some European countries there are consequences for posting death threats on Twitter
Do websites come under the remit of self hosting?
Personally I host static websites with GitHub, cloudfront, netlify, onrender etc. Trivial to setup, more reliable and better cdn distribution. Anything dynamic lives in a data center rather than a self host setup.
