Greetings! I currently host a number of services on an old pc in my basement. I have ports 80 and 443 forwarded and am running Nginx Proxy Manager as well as Authelia to protect most of them. I have set up a lemmy instance that I am using as my main point of access to the fediverse. I guess I have two questions. I am assuming that hiding lemmy behind Authelia would break Federation (although maybe only one way?), is that correct? And secondly, would it be objectively safer for me to pay for a VPS, run Nginx Proxy Manager there and then forward all of the traffic to the services hosted in my basement server using Tailscale? Thanks!

    Are you sure it’s abandoned? The docker page was last updated three days ago and there is activity on the github page. Are they just updating the software without pushing any security fixes? I’ve definitely not had issues renewing certificates

      There are nearly 1000 open issues and a couple of them are about potential vulnerabilities where the repeated refrain is ‘we tried to contact the developer, but there’s no response’ which makes me… uncomfortable, especially given that NPM was the gatekeeper to a lot of services on my local network.

      The cert error is related to outdated python code in the latest shipping version, https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/2912 and 2921.

      Again, you CAN work around it but the whole radio silence on issues and ongoing issues just makes me uncomfortable with the project and exceedingly reluctant to continue using it because it’s unclear what’s going on, and why.
