I run a personal server. Do I need to do anything specific to protect it? (lemmy.world)

I have been running a large server 24/7 for about a month and a half now. It is only for myself and the fam, no one else has access to it at all.

I'm trying to learn about selfhosting and whatnot, but it's....a lot. Is there anything I need to do specifically besides configuring it correctly in order to protect it and myself. I hear people talking about putting stuff in dockers, putting things behind a reverse proxy, a VPN, etc.

I do currently have it running behind ProtonVPN but that's it. Do I need to be doing more?

Thanks in advance for any help!

It is by default, you need to open ports on your router in order for it to receive traffic from outside your home network. And then configure those ports to forward to your jellyfin server.
