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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Now that's interesting, what is the purpose of the reverse proxy, don't you still need something exposed then?
A reverse proxy saves you from having to expose your services directly and acts as a go-between.
Internet <--> Reverse Proxy <--> Service
Right, but what exactly does the reverse proxy do to stop intrusion?
Crowdsec is what stops the intrusion.
Crowdsec won't protect against a security vulnerability
It will if it detects the requests and blocks them
Only if it is from a known bad IP
Also the vulnerability may be in something needed for client functionality.
