Script kiddies these days got really fast. Configured a new subdomain, started droppy, within a couple seconds, all types of requests were visible in the log.

Fellow self-hoster, you mention Droppy -- I can only find an archived repo (https://github.com/silverwind/droppy). Do you have any other source?

I've been running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte Brix with two USB HDDs for... years now. At least 8. On and off, there were several services, but mostly, this device is meant to host

  • NFS and SMB file shares
  • syncthing, because I can't get my Macbook to use the network shares in a performant way
  • plex media server
  • nginx with mariadb for a privately hosted database of a German TV show (Tatort) and also a self-made expense tracker
  • paperless-ngx for electronic document management
  • traefik as a reverse proxy
  • heimdall to remind me what's there :)
  • a couple statically generated web sites
  • changedetection.io to check some websites for changes
  • watchtower to at least notify me when new docker images are available
  • portainer to have kind of a dashboard for all services
  • youtube-dl-material
  • dokuwiki as a second brain

Since Arch Linux is rolling, it sometimes simply breaks after an update. But since the services have gotten more critical for me over time (especially plex :) ) I plan on putting some of the services to a host in the cloud behind a WireGuard VPN. Also, the Brix should be re-installed with Ubuntu or Debian some day.
