I recently became interessted in learning about static site generators. So I decided to start a little 11ty blog, in which I teach people, who are new to self-hosting, how to securely set up their own server with Ubuntu and Docker.
For now, I’ve got my Beginners Guide series as well as a more detailed introduction to SSH and its features. I plan to eventually write down all I’ve learned about self-hosting in the past 20 years.
Hope it ends up being helpful for some of you.
For getting your stuff available over the internet, y I recommend a secure tunnel with wire guard between your vps and servers running the services.
Make your vps an authentication portal using stuff like Authelia and Fail2ban.
If you’re really needing out, get ELK stood up for free and get agents on your containers/services to keep visibility into any potential… Anything
I’ve personally never found the need to do that. If you follow basic security guidelines and keep your server os and the docker service up-to-date, there really isn’t any real threat.
Though I have heard of Authelia before and was interested in reading up on SSO, one of these days.
