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!

Thanks for clarifying. No, it is only meant to be used as a centralized entertainment system here in my home. None of us care about taking said media with us when we leave the house.
