Hello folks! I am looking for some guidance or direction on how to make sure my “server” locked down as much as possible. I know there are several websites/guides out there but was hoping I could get someone to recommend some good ones to use that cover all the bases solidly.

There are just so much info out there, wading through looking for a solid guide when you ignorant is hazardous.

Server is running Mint and hosts my Plex/Radarr/Sonarr stack. Using a locally hosted reverse proxy for any outside connections.

This started as a project to learn linux, so things are a bit shaky on linux understanding but getting better. I used GPT assistance to lock it down to the best of my ability, making sure (or I think) that most obvious firewalls rules were setup…ect.

Thanks for your help :)

    I’ve been tempted by things like authentik, but how does that work for things like apps and tv sticks (roku / Chromecast)? Or does it really only work for browser based applications?

      Yeah, will not work for everything. Things with actual phone/TV apps generally dont like it. That being said, it still helps for a large swath of my setup

      It depends on the app. You can use Authentik as an OIDC provider and allow apps that offer OIDC to log in through that - and that usually works for TV sticks and such.
