Would there be any potential problem of hosting public and/or private (vpn) services in a school office? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

Obviously if public the material would be important. But private, only over ssh or vpn? Free internet, power, and backup!

If you are so sure of your indemnity because it's "your device", why are you asking on Lemmy?

because discussing such projects in self hosting is fun and why we are here. I wanted to hear what others thought. Ie we are in a forum.

Don't be flippant.

This is like going to a car enthusiast forum and asking "any potential problems with driving a car that may or may not be stolen?"

You have indicated that you're aware of the potential repercussions of running a personal project in a publicly-funded environment.You've already been told that this is unethical everywhere and illegal in many places.
