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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I would say there's solid benefits to breaking out your networking into at least 4 VLANs: IoT, guest, main, and infrastructure. IoT is obvious, these devices are security nightmares, but sometimes you have no alternative so you throw them into a network black hole. Guest for guests that you don't want touching your stuff but keep asking for wifi. Main is for everybody else, this is your "real" network. Infrastructure for servers and network equipment.
The reason you break infrastructure off into its own VLAN is that modern firewalls are stateful and you can allow the main VLAN to initiate connections to the infrastructure VLAN but not the other way around, so if your server or IoT stuff gets infected it can't become an attack vector for all your other devices. You allow Main to access Infrastructure, but not vise versa.
I take mine further and add two more VLANs, services and admin access. I split infrastructure (networking, proxmox hosts, etc) and services (proxmox VMs, NAS, etc) and then only allow admin access to the former, which is exclusive to my PC and phone. Some might call this excessive, but it helps me sleep a little better at night.
