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 the answer! We don't care about taking the media with us when we leave every day. It is just meant to be a centralized home entertainment distribution system. If it ever does get to the point where we want remote access to it, I will look into Tailscale. Thanks again!

Yeah, I think the only thing I would worry about at that point is a firewall with restrictive rules. Don't expose internal ports without proper MFA in place.
