Anyone hosting OpenCTI (programming.dev)

I'm about to start hosting an OpenCTI instance for work and was looking for advice on pretty much everything. I'm new to self hosting and was wondering if anyone had any advice or helpful guides (storage space, config tips, etc).

I'm looking to set up an OCTI server as a docker container behind nginx. I'd love to practice at home so this is sort of relevant to the community. Have you done this, what did you learn, do you have any things I should watch out for?

Why would you start with such a complex and advanced tool when you are new to self-hosting?

Yeah, that was my first thought.

Probably driven by: then I can put that on my CV. But just playing around with that self-hosted is not going to give you any actionable skills.

Alternative explanation: Lemmy is big enough now for astroturfing 😑

Really don't care much about my cv. This program is a great way to learn about the STIX protocol so no idea what you mean about "no actionable skills". STIX is an interesting information sharing method, the program is well designed to educate the user on it and seeing the format it imports and exports data will teach me a buttload.

More to the point, maybe could you be less cynical and share some advice. I'm not going to flex my qualifications cos they're mediocre but I've got smart people around me who just don't know this particular program and I'm interested to hear from those who do.

Do you run this program at work or at home? Have you learned anything interesting from using it? Are there avoidable mistakes I could not repeat from hosting it? Answers to those questions would be very useful.
