Hello,

just wanted to share that I have successfully hosted copyparty instance behind cloudflare on my porator laptop :D

you can use it to share memes or use it as temporary storage, I don’t have any idea of how to manage a public facing service but I will figure it out.

I am already hacked it seems

    you start with authenticated things, like forgejo and such, and always double check that anonymous visitors don’t see any data.

    but generally it’s also not wise to just expose most services to the internet. jellyfin for example had lots of leaks because lots of API functionality was accessible without authentication. I don’t know if it’s been fully fixed.
    expose a wireguard, it is safe, it is security software, and access everything else through it. you can keep using your domain for internal services.

    with copyparty there’s an added risk. if police finds you hosted child porn, they won’t care if it wasn’t you who uploaded it. someone reports it to them, they steal all your computers, worst case you can even end up in jail.
