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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Ssh behind a wire guard VPN server is technically more secure if you don't have a key-only login, but a pain if the container goes down or if you need to access the server without access to wireguards VPN client on your device.
Highly recommend getting a router that can accept wireguard connections. If the router goes down you're not accessing anything anyways.
Then always put ssh behind the wireguard connections.
For a homelab, there is rarely a need to expose ssh directly so best practice will always be to have multi layered security when possible.
Yeah it's good to have a system separate from the main server. It's always so frustrating having to debug wireguard issues cause there's some problem with docker
