Automating the security hardening of a Linux server
I have been using the How To Secure A Linux Server guide for quite a while and wanted to learn Ansible, so I created two playbooks to automate most of the guides content. The playbooks are still a work in progress.

Connecting to docker containers rarely work, including via Caddy (non docker) reverse proxy
If it works, I will then follow the hardening guide I did before (https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server) and test after every step

Resources to learn backend security from scratch
Maybe these two repos can help you, I've used them both from time to time to look up stuff I have no idea about as a frontend main: https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server https://github.com/decalage2/awesome-security-hardening

Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting
> In short it’s all about control, privacy, and security, in that order.
I am going to strongly urge you to consider changing that order and move *security* to the first priority. I have long run my own servers, it is much easier to setup a server with strong security foundation, than to clean up afterwards.
As a beginner, you should stick to a well known and documented Linux server distribution such as Ubuntu Server LTS or Fedora. Only install the programs you need. Do not install a windowing system on it. Do everything for the server from the command line.
Here are a few blog posts I have bookmarked over the years that I think are geared to beginners:
"My First 5 Minutes On A Server; Or, Essential Security for Linux Servers": An quick walk through of how to do basic server security manually [1]. There was a good Hacker News discussion about this article, most of the response suggests using tools to automate these types of security tasks [2], however the short tutorial will teach you a great deal, and automation mostly only makes sense when you are deploying a number of similar servers. I definitely take a more manual hands-on approach to managing my personal servers compared to the ones I professionally deploy.
"How To Secure A Linux Server": An evolving how-to guide for securing a Linux server that, hopefully, also teaches you a little about security and why it matters. [3]
Both Linode[4] and Digital Ocean[5] have created good sets of Tutorials and documentation that are generally trustworthy and kept up-to-date
Good luck and have fun

Selfhosting Security for Cloud Providers like Hetzner
I suggest these resources: - Some fundamentals: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-security.html - One of the best imho ( exhaustive list ): https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server - Ansible playbook to harden security by Jeff Geerling: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-security - OAWSP Check list ( targeted for web apps... and honestly a bit overkill ): https://github.com/0xRadi/OWASP-Web-Checklist

Ask HN: What Linux setup/hardening guide do you use?
I can't claim to have been through it but this is sitting on my bookmarks folder and looks very useful: https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Serve...
My only tip I haven't seen mentioned here is be very careful using docker with ufw, as by default docker will effectively override ufw port restrictions if it is told to expose a port.

Want to use Linux as main OS but help on hardening it.
As mentioned, there is some great software here https://www.privacytools.io/ and nearly everything you need to know to get started here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security (useful even if you don't use Arch/Arch based distros, some of the stuff may be overkill and you need to figure out where to draw the line yourself in terms of tradeoffs). This guide, although it is geared towards servers also has some useful tips that apply to any linux system and is a little easier to follow https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server

🔍Underrated Open Source Projects You Should Know About 🧠
Paperless-ngx is the successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects, both of which are now in public archive. The original projects are not dead, but rather, continued through the open source community!

Paperless-Ngx v2.0.0
As others said I'm not sure if the name relates to Angular but it's worth saying that the frontend is in fact Angular

Need To Store Tax & Tax Related Documents. Suggestions Given The IRS Guidance?
paperless-ng / paperless-ngx has been nice for storing PDFs. I'll probably throw this year's documents into that as well.

Ask HN: What have you built more than twice and wish someone had built for you?
A SaaS for managing personal documents. The closest I have right now (not SaaS) is paperless-ng[0], but I have to self-host it, unless I missed a really compelling solution.
I have a sea of documents, both physical and electronic, and it's always a struggle to scan/organize/find them. I'd pay good money for a software/service that manages my documents, from scanning to archiving.

Best (simple) tool for personal Wiki
