Strange survey - it seems to imply that self-hosting means that I have the hardware running at home? Cannot fill this out, unfortunately.

Yea, that’s the whole deal with self hosting. Offside hosting or cloud hosting doesn’t mean you just have SAAS, you can have lower level access or even IAAS

Sorry but I’ve always called the VPS I run in the cloud, with software used by my 5 person DND group, “self hosted”. You’re saying it is, or it isn’t?

Yeah seems like they mix up homelabbing and selfhosting a lot

It asks questions for both self-hosted on your own hardware as well as hosted in the cloud, I’m a little confused why everyone thinks all the questions must be applicable. It’s a survey about self-hosting. I happened to have cloud and local hosting answers, and it seemed like if I only used cloud there were suitable answers for that. Maybe I missed something?

The survey is kinda weird. Like why do one has to use a VPN/RP/LAN when you can also just have the Server public exposed ? And for some other questions I should’ve voted „depending “ as neither true or false applied.

I thought it covered most bases, usually when publicly exposed something has a reverse proxy and certs in front

I have mine in a DMZ, so it can be fully exposed with software firewall. I thought it’ll be less work to setup and maintain. Wich it is, when I have a small project I can just plug my pi into the DMZ and it’s good to go.

Making all questions mandatory means I abandoned the survey at some point. If you want people to respond, don’t make it feel like. a chore.

Agreed. I have a personal modem and a separate router with openwrt acting, at least in part, as a firewall. Then each host also has its own firewall for extra protection.

I don’t even have an ISP router at all, my personal router is plugged directly into the fibre terminator.
negativenull@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Same. My ISP router is sitting on a shelf unused.

I agree, I’m a bit of a different case since I’m also colocating my equipment. I run a UDM Pro for all my IPMI with a VPN into that subnet, but everything else is running with public IPs.
