Comment on Does anyone have experience with Mumble?
themachine@lemmy.world 3 days agoThe short answer to “can you add it to your home server” is yes. It’s not like there is some cap beyond your own system resources that prevents you from running multiple services.

Awesome, didn’t know if there was any sort of risk associated. Thanks!

Well there can be some “risk” depending on how you’re going about this. I’m assuming you will be wanting people outside of your home network to be able to each your server. To do so you’ll either have to open a port in your LAN firewall and expose your server on said port to the internet, or have all users who will be using this on a VPN you create.
The former being “more risky” but quantifying that risk is difficult. Ive done this in the past and don’t personally see it as a big deal. My current mumble server does not live on my LAN but I will be pulling my server out of a local data center in the nearish future and running it out of my home once more at which point a number of publicly accessible services will be hosted from my LAN.

Yeah, my ports are open for other uses on my server, so this isn’t an issue. But I have followed the advice of a cyber security friend who helped me fortify my server against any attacks. It was fun to find a note on my root of my server with instructions lol
