Hey guys, I’m running a simple docker compose server on an old laptop, hosting calibre(web), nextcloud and navidrome exposed on a cloudflare domain. Nextcloud allows 2fa, however navidrome and calibre web don’t, so I thought I’d better get onto setting up Authelia…

Been having issues setting it up, and now I’m starting to wonder if its worth the trouble after all. I’m sure NC is fine sercrity wise but will I be fine leaving the other two exposed to the internet? I know having Authelia is definitely better… but is it really worth it if I haven’t pissed off any hackers, and am just a normal dude?

Thanks!

    Do you need to expose the services to the entire Internet or can you use something like tailscale or zerotier (these require installing an app on each remote device, but don’t open up ports to the internet).

      I could, I do find it very convenient having my services exposed though. Makes it easy to connect to the calibre opds from my e-reader, don’t have to have wireguard fight with mullvad etc…

      But maybe I will just switch to vpn rather than exposed, the security would take a load off my shoulders
