@codytherudeguy@linuxrocks.online putting the cart before the horses, you don't even have a server running and are worrying about DDoS attacks.
If your software is battle tested there's nothing to worry about, it's extra work but also fun, there's this misconception that self hosting has a lot of maintenance because things break all the time, not true in the slightest.

@codytherudeguy@linuxrocks.online my setup is the cheapest VPS I could find, ufw for firewall, podman/docker for containers. DNS resolves to VPS, VPS only forwards ports I know I want via a wireguard tunnel between VPS and home server, home server has all outside connections blocked expect incoming through tunnel configured with ufw. There we go, if you're using battle tested software there is nothing to worry about, if you're not, their control leaks to the container for an extra layer of protection.
