I just started self hosting. I have been really enjoying it so far but I’m nervous that the excitement will wear off soon unless something stressful or even catastrophic happens. Any advice?
King, all you must do is set up root ssh access with a short password and port forward port 22 to it. Super easy, super quick!
For extra spice, I’d recommend also hitting your hard drives with a hammer once or twice a day. They just don’t like vibrations; you’ve gotta weed out the weak ones. Only the strong data will survive.
Delete your backups and do a full system upgrade.
Install hypermind
Open port 22
Wait 10 minutes
Prepare your anus
Okay. Let me look up how to open this portal 22 you speak of.
Just have it open in your home router configuration to forward traffic somewhere.
Or you can have an SSH server running on a small VM and you can route traffic there and watch the logs. Like a honeypot type of thing.
Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.
We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.
