Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? (lemmy.world)

I'm having trouble staying on top of updates for my self hosted applications and infrastructure. Not everything has auto updates baked in and some things you may not want to auto update. How do y'all handle this? How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? Are there e.g. feeds for specific applications I can subscribe to via RSS or email?

There are a couple of things to cover here:

  1. Keep your software/containers up to date. You can subscribe to the GitHub repo and configure it to get notified for new releases and security alerts. Complementary, you can use RSS feeds, newteleases.io and/or WUD (What's Up Docker) and add labels to your docker compose files. Personally, I check the notification once a week and change the version for all minor tools I'm using. If there is a major release (or new Immich version) I read the changelog and update instructions (if it's the case).

  2. For container security scans, you can use Trivy, but the problem is that you don't have a centralized overview of your scan results. For this you can use DefectDojo. Depending on the case/threat model, vulnerability management for self-hosted things might be overkill, but highly recommended of you want to learn more about this. It worth mentioning Trufflehog as secrets scanner and sops as a solution to encrypt sensitive data so you can push it to git/SCM.
