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.

As the title says...

Is this a risky thing?

EDIT: I have a wireguard VPN set up for myself and it's always on so I can access *arrs and the like. I would like to expose immich on my domain to share photo albums and such.

GeoIP restricting is a brilliant idea I never thought of. I have been getting a few people trying to sign up on one of my other services and they're all from Asia somewhere.

I'll try setting this up.

Sweet. Both OPNSense and pfSense firewalls have the ability to tie into MaxMind's GeoIP service. Not sure what your perimeter device is, but it's pretty easy on those. And free.

If you use Cloudflare as the domain-DNS I'd rather use them as the GeoIP filter.

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but OP mentioned nothing about Cloudflare.

Doesnt hurt to mention though in case others come across this discussion, no?
