MeldrikThey Said Self-Hosting Was Hard! - arthurpizza
realitaetsverlustAs long as you don’t directly connect it to the internet, it’s not hard.
When you do, it does become hard.
People who don’t care about security are the cancer of the selfhosting-world. Billions of devices are part of a botnet because lazy owners don’t care about even the most basic shit, like changing the stock password. It’s insane.
A lot of people simply don’t have time to go the extra steps.
Instead you should be focused on secure by default design. E.g. not setting a static router password to admin admin.
It’s stupid in this day and age to continue to see default logins occur still.
simply don’t have time
Sorry, but that is no reason. That’s a bit akin to having a dog and saying: “Nah I don’t have time to walk the dog now”. Selfhosting something that is publicly available (not as in “everyone can use it” but “everyone can access it") bears some level of responsibility. You either make the time to properly set up and maintain it, or you shouldn’t selfhost stuff.
