Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I've been doing some selfhosting and want to setup fail2ban for my exposed apps, but am unsure if that should be setup on my router (OpenWRT), on each server that may be exposed, or just in the Caddy container?

My setup right now is: TP-Link router with OpenWRT Lenovo M910q with Proxmox, which hosts the following:

  • Caddy in a container for reverse proxies to hosted apps
  • Home Assistant OS in VM#1
  • Other apps in docker containers on VM#2

I didn't like crowdsec because of the limits on the free account. For example, I got way more than the 500 max monthly alerts just with one application being protected. So it was difficult to analyze threats. It was easier to set up though. And both serve slightly different use cases.

You can analyze with either the CLI or log files piped into something like OpenObserve which is what I do. You don't technically need their dashboard.
