  • Ask HN: How do you securely self-host a server?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Mar 2022
    I prefer to run Ubuntu machines and at least in terms of provisioning a new secure server I built an Ansible playbook I called 'ANU' (as in A New Ubuntu). I'd expand to other distros, but then I'd have to change the name!

    It is based on the DevSec OS/SSH hardening playbooks, but I lean closer towards ease-of-use over security where I think it makes sense. For example, I disable forced password rotation and I keep the default umask value of '022' instead of the more secure '027'.

    When I come across something the upstream playbooks change that "gets in my way", I will disable it if the security trade off makes sense for me. I'm not running highly sensitive systems, so these trade-offs make sense for me, and maybe they will for you as well!

    In terms of ongoing security upkeep, I run the usual `apt update && apt dist-upgrade` when I can, but I’ll be keeping my eye on this thread for additional advice.
