What steps do you take to secure your server and your selfhosted services? in c/[email protected]

I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

Good advice outside of this use case! :)

Inspired by this comment to try to learn what I'm missing.

  • Cloudflare proxy
  • Reverse Proxy
  • Fail2ban
  • Docker containers on their own networks

Another concern I have is does it need to be on a separate machine on a vlan from the rest of the network or is that too much?

How do you handle email for prof and private uses? in c/[email protected]

Thanks!

Mailbox.org is a commonly recommended service beside Tuta and Proton. I was going to switch from Proton to Tuta to have more custom domain emails but it doesn’t allow service outside of its apps. Mailbox.org is cheaper and allows 50 custom domains :)

I quickly quit them because they don't do IMAP for "security" reasons, ie walled garden, and their support requires you paying. After canceling my membership I literally couldn't contact support unless I paid again.

Thanks! What’s a proton simple login? In this use case could I use my name.com domain? I think mailbox can do this!

I was using protonmail for my custom domain for work and private emails but now I think mailbox has better options, providing way more custom domain emails. Wondering what the best use case is? Thinking of using my own domains instead of proton. I have this one and my name.

Using [email protected] or [email protected] is fun and easy but is it private? These companies already know my name so is using my work website domain okay?

What is your methodology behind note taking and other research related services you host? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.selfhostcat.com/post/108211

  • my methods have been:

  • use trilium for any detailed notes and documentation

  • memos for random thoughts especially if shorter

  • pen and paper when offline or on mobile because mobile trilium and moememos both suck

  • zotero for citation and bibliography manager

  • backed up to nextcloud

  • i have paperless-ngx but found it randomly errors a ton of things and zotero is fine.

  • considering if it’s worth it to have so many different spread out methods

  • theyre fun to use but it creates more chaos then needed

What do you use for notes? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.selfhostcat.com/post/93395

I've gone handwritten, obsidian, onenote, and now Trilium. Considering switching to something else because there is no offline mobile support.

I use memos and trilium together but since neither offers mobile offline support considering switching both. No reason to run two services when I could run one.

Considering:

  • Joplin
  • Logseq
  • SiYuan
  • ?

What do you host on your backup servers? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I backup my files via rsync then have some essentially docker containers backed up and running in case the first one goes down :)

Are there any programs to take handwritten material and import it into programs like Memos or Trilium? (github.com)
 

I found some that do the opposite, take digital writing and format into a printed list.

Not seeing any comments from my new instance unless it is a reply to me. (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

It seems to be a similar issue to this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/106?scrollToComments=true

I see the docs say I need to search for every comment..??? https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html

But that doesn't appear to be how it works on other posts.

If I want to mod communities is it best to run them on big instances or my personal instances? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

I don’t want any users on my instances but I would like to have the freedom to choose how to run a community.
