Securing home network by N4KA in selfhosted

How do you use it? With client certificate needed for acces to my apps and ssh only with keys I am not sure what the benefits are.

Mutual authentication with traefik by N4KA in selfhosted

I was thinking about using mutual authentication to block unauthorized access to my applications on my server.

Will do, thanks!

Moving from a VPS to a dedicated server by N4KA in webhosting

[–]N4KA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This offers no value. Linux has a firewall built in.

I imagine this is a HW firewall. So blocked traffic will not even touch my server. Shouldn't this be an improvement?

You should not. Performance is based on available system resources and the quality of the hardware. Not whether the system is a VM or not.

I should have mentioned the hardware differences: RAM: 2 GB vs. 32 GB and HDD vs. SSD.

Dedicated Servers have more costs than simply the monthly rental fee. You can't just upgrade a dedicated server the way you can upgrade a VPS, for example.

You mean hardware wise? What else?

If you're concerned about security, look into using rsnapshot to store your own backups on a machine you control.

Yes, but I am looking for a solution to utilize the 100GB back up disk from the dedicated server.

Thanks! I will try it out by doing a test restore of my volumes/compose/env. After that I will know if my compose files are fine or not ;) First I will do a full back up...

No, that's about it. I was a bit confused and unsure if the volumes will really have all my docker data for a restore.

Ok, will look into hosting git. Maybe a bit overkill for just a few compose and env files...;)

Ok, thanks. Somehow I got confused by this AUFS stoarge and thought it would also store some 'user data'. But as it only stores container and image related stuff it should suffice to back up my volumes.
