Hey All

Selfhosting is a great way to keep your data secure and reduce having
your data on cloud services but also since most of these selfhosted
services are easy to setup you should be safe guarding your network in
other ways.

Keep in mind that you should be keeping your services updated often
for security updates & patches but also to help reduce an attacker
from infiltrating your network, you should be doing security scans of
any docker images with something like \`docker scout\` or Trivy and
scan code you run on your network to reduce your risk of supply chain
attacks.

There's also a whole lot more to do if you're exposing these services
to the internet, but the points you make are important fundamentals.
