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.

If I showed you my WAN-side firewall logs you'd have a panic attack. I have a /29 block and about 10 scans tap one IP or another every second. It's part of being on the internet.
Your domestic home router experiences the exact same thing. Every moment of every day.
Will you report every scan? Every Chinese IP? Every US IP? It's completely common place to have someone 'knock on the door'.
Get off IPv4 anyway and onto IPv6. Good luck to them finding you by chance in there.
I ran a Tor relay on one of my spare servers for a while, and my god did that thing get port scanned. Even two years after I stopped hosting the relay, it was still getting pinged every 5-10 seconds (while my other servers tend to get pinged "only" once ever 20-30 seconds).
