#selfhosting enlighten me, how do I secure, and I mean THOROUGHLY secure, a public facing service (say forgejo/ntfy/matrix homeserver) etc properly, so that I can actually expose them to the public internet and inbound connections?

I am not yet hosting such services, mostly because I'm worried I'll badly mess up somewhere

BUT I really, really want to do it and do it well, all the kubernetes, containers, VM and orchestration talk sounds really nice!

(While we're at it, can someone teach me the difference between a homelab and a homeserver?)

> difference between a homelab and a homeserver?

I think "homeserver" is mostly a matrix thing, when someone says "homeserver" I think they often mean the same as "matrix homeserver".

A homelab on the other hand, can be anything! 🙂

About the security questions, I don't know. One thing that's good is to try to avoid huge software things, better use small programs that do only what you need.

@eliasr I'd argue otherwise. r/homeserver is a thing on reddit (used to be a few years back, now idk)
