Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?
dabe@lemmy.zip 1 week agoGood luck 🫡 I made the switch about half a year ago and went all in on rootless quadlets while I was at it. It was a pretty nightmarish couple weeks figuring out things like user id mappings and rootless permissions, but I got there eventually. Landed on a super neat Traefik config that should work for anyone and makes spinning up new quadlets with their own reverse proxied subdomains really simple. I should really post it somewhere…
In the end I wouldn’t exactly say it was worth it… but it sure feels cool to be fully moved into a more open/native container implementation.

Yeah, I mainly just want to move away to more open projects. When I first started, everyone kept suggesting using Cloudflare. After half a year using their service, I just felt icky the entire time.
In the past couple months I was able to move away and chose to protect myself by learning how to harden my server as well as hiding my server behind multiple layers of obscurity.
With my current setup, the only site traffic I get has only been myself and my custom ssh port only gets hit by bots about 3-10 times a week according to my logs. Only time will tell how effective my layers of obscurity will hold up but so far it seems to satisfy my needs better than I was expecting.
Once I get podman in a state I like, I’ll pretty much be all open sourced and all I’ll have to do for myself is be in maintenance mode unless I care to add a new service. I like to keep things simple so I don’t normally go crazy adding new services anyways.
