Like the title says, I'm new to self hosting world. πŸ˜€ while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? πŸ™‚thank you

I’ve seen far too many compromised Wordpress installations to ever consider installing it in my home dmz.

Mine was compromised and the script kiddie was using it to send spam.

Moved to static pages. He got mad. Started sending threatening emails.

What would be the problem with a hacked containerized wordpress site?

[–] therealsimontemplar@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Any number of issues, depending on the network architecture and other variables. Is there storage mounted to the container? Or network access to/from the container for admin access, etc? Anything else on the dmz rail in the blast radius of the infected server?
