Cake day: September 10th, 2026
  • Yeah yeah ill document everything one day, when all is “done”…

    Jokes aside I just use outline for everything but I wanted something more lightweight as a kind of backup that works with plain text, other ones I didn’t quite like but this seems just right

  • I only host for my family and me otherwise use public servers, for that my server never consumed much resources at all and I never ran into these key issues people mention. I’ve been hosting it for 6 months. Idk despite it all Matrix just checks all the correct boxes is it not worth using even with the issues you had?

  • Thats my post so yeah thats how secure it is right now, I have authelia infront of everything, besides some admin only thing which are only accessible over wireguard. I’d like to look into VLANS but have no hardware for it and it seems expensive

I have everything I host and expose behind authelia (which requires 2fa) as middleware or as the only login method with oicd, thus far it seems to work well, of course I get a bunch of malicious traffic and spam but this gets to authelia and stops there, I don’t even see multiple tried login tries ever so I felt pretty safe. However it does seem that everyone uses either fail2ban or crowdsec in addition so I have been wondering if it would really add any security in my setup or if I’m missing something. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt but crowdsec always seemed a little too complex for me and I don’t want something I don’t fully understand in my security layer and I never saw a nice way to setup fail2ban so never bothered. Afaik there’s no webui or such things and you have to manually make working regex for everything. I’d like to know if I’m missing something or if anyone has tipps to give
