How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet? (lemm.ee)

Limiting the attack surface is a big part, geo restrictions, reputation lists, brute force mitigation, it all plays a role. Running a vulnerability scanner against your stuff is important to catch things before others do and regular patching is important too. It's can be a rewarding challenge.

Can you recommend me a vulnerability scanner?

Both Nessus and Nexpose are typically enterprise class systems but they have community licensing available for home labs. Nessus can even be set up in a docker container. OpenVAS is more or less free but can be upgraded with pro-feeds, but last I tried it it was a bit more rough to use.

Do be aware though that throwing a full force scan will use a lot of CPU and can break things depending on the settings, so it's good to practice their settings on some non-critical systems first to get a feel for them.

Thanks sounds like a fun weekend project. My 72 cores are bored most of the time anyways. 😃
