I just spun up a private instance of lemmy on the cheapest Linode. So far so good.

I used the ansible method of installing the instance on the default Debian 11 image from Linode (link below).

I feel a bit worried that there are no firewall instructions in the install documents. And no notes on securing your instance.

Any thoughts on how to set up ufw for a lemmy instance? Or thoughts on other security tips?

    Thanks! Good insight. For sure password-ssh is disabled and strong crypto used. I think this I’m at “good enough” for what I’m protecting atm.
