Is it necessarily bad to host multiple server-based services on the same hardware? i.e. host a #PLEX server, a #Fediverse instance, a #Matrix server, an #XMPP server, etc. all on the same machine?

For personal use, which will never be used by more than 5 or so people at a time

@realcaseyrollins You should have in mind how secure you want each of the services and the data hosted to be.

With each service you're adding you grow the attack surface for the host and you add more data might need to be protected.

Each services grows the risk for a security breach and at the same time makes the loss of data through a hacked server more painful.

@chrichri Ah! This is definitely something to keep in mind, thank you!
