I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
  3. What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

    Well, turns out that when you host a private service that allows others to share files, they might share files that they are not allowed to share. But in return your door gets kicked in in the morning and suddenly no one wants to take credit for the actual upload anymore.

      Yeah… Becoming a public-facing file host for others to use seem rather irresponsible.

      If/when a user’s given a means of uploading files to my server, there’s no method/permissions for them to share those files with others; it’s really just for them to send files to me. (Filebrowser is pretty good for that)

      That and almost nothing is public access; auth or gtfo.
