Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

What?
I've popped up a web server and within a day had so many hits on the router (thousands per minute) that performance tanked.
Yea, no, any exposed service will get hammered. Frankly I'm surprised that machine I setup didn't get hacked.
Don't leave SSH on port 22 open as there are a lot of crawlers for that, otherwise I really can't say I share your experience, and I have been self-hosting for years.
I've been self-hosting a bunch of stuff for over a decade now, and have not had that issue.
Except for a matrix server with open registration for a community that others not in the community started to use.
Yes my biggest mistake was leaving a vps dns server wide open. It took months for it to get abused though.
Lol
You left stuff exposed is the only explanation. I've had services running for years without a problem
What class of IP was it?
I can't say I've seen anything like that on the webservers I've exposed to the internet. But it could vary based on the IP you have if it's a target for something already I suppose.
How could it if all you had was a basic webserver running?
