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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Nice big old port scan. Brand new server too. Just a few days old so there is nothing to find. Don't worry I contacted AWS. Stay safe out there.

Uh sorry dude, but no this isn't a script kiddy, these are bots that scan every IP address every day for any open ports, it's a constant thing. If you have a public IP, you have people, govs, nefarious groups scanning it. AWS will tell you the same as if you were hosting it locally, close up the ports, put it on a private network. Use a vpc and WAF in AWS' case.

I get scanned constantly. Every hour of every day dark forced attempt to penetrate our defences.
