DDOS can happen just from a script hammering on an exposed port trying to brute force credentials.

What?
I’ve popped up a web server and within a day had so many hits on the router (thousands per minute) that performance tanked.
Yea, no, any exposed service will get hammered. Frankly I’m surprised that machine I setup didn’t get hacked.
Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.
So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.
If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.
Can Proxmox with some containers/VMs address your needs?
Its what I’m running for a media server (a VM) and some containers for things like Pihole and Syncthing.
Professional self-hosting was the way it was done until SaaS took off over the last 20 years - we just never called it that, because it was the only way to do things at the time.
Now we say things like Cloud or On-Premise. And as another commenter proposed, call it “Private Cloud” to sound fancy (wel, it’s not the same thing, but it sure sounds good!).
To my thinking, self-hosting means consumer-level hosting of services for a person, family, friends, generally at home, with VPS as an alternative server host.
I run RAID5 on one device… BUT only because it replicates data that’s on 2 other local devices AND that data is backed up to a cloud storage.
And I still want it to be RAID 6.
