By the time you get the alert and act on it, it’s too late.
Don’t expose these things to the open internet; VPN back into your network and access them.
Comment on How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services?
a_fancy_kiwi@lemmy.world 4 days agoI feel weird about having those apps on the internet and basically being blind to threats. I mean yeah, I’m not a target on anyone’s list and most IPs visiting the site are bots. But I would still like to know what’s going on.
I don’t work in tech for a living, this is just a hobby for me so I have limited time to work on this stuff and do research. It’s very possible I fucked something up and don’t know it. I figured if I at least got an alert that said “hey, your immich server db was dumped and sent to <insert IP>”, I could at least turn it off

Yah, it’s just a hobby for you, but it’s also a hobby for script kiddies to use Shodan to find people with out of date web interfaces and pop them. I tell you right now, the Immich team would be the first to say not to put their application publicly accessible.
Just don’t get into this practice, it ends in tears and is way more maintenance to stay protected than just setting up tailscale and using that.
