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.

uh, i did?
can u explain why its a bad idea?
The proxy you are using seems like a good one and if you are using auth on it you aren't exposing the services under it directly, so the vulnerability would be proxy or your password to reach any potential vulnerabilities on the service. Sure there could be some crazy bad vulnerability on the proxy, but as long as your using a good trusted one and not doing some config to bypass their security, and updating it, you should be fine. Some people here think you could use vpns and such for everything and sometimes you just gotta share your services and going through a proxy service is a good solution.
Anything on the internet gets hammered. As soon as there is any sort of vulnerability you are compromised.
You don't need to take that risk
