What else should I do for my home server security? (lemmy.world)

So I'm relatively new to server hosting. (But experienced with remote web hosting from providers.) After about a year of fighting to run Nextcloud on a hosting company and finally losing everything from the cPanel vulnerability a few months ago, I broke down and launched my own home server. I'm looking for advice to maximize security.

CachyOS Linux with ClamAV Docker via Portainer Nextcloud (E2EE), Immich, DocuSeal and NoteTrace Routed through a domain and subdimains via Zero Trust Cloudflare Tunnel and Cloudflare DNS.

I have regular redundant backups both onsite and offsite with Duplicati.

My passwords for OS and all admin dashboards are extremely long, unique, random strings managed by Bitwarden.

I know just enough about this stuff to get into trouble. What else should I setup? I have little to no monitoring going on and don't know much about that direction.

If you are paying for Bitwarden, or using their free tier, stop and and start hosting vaultwarden. You can still use the Bitwarden app, with vaultwarden but with all the premium features.

Its one of the few services I really like paying for tbh.

But why? If it is backup I personally have a VPS that backs up stuff and runs a few services. In a few weeks I am hoping to have a second off site backup as well.
