What is everyone doing? SELinux? AppArmor? Something else?

I currently leave my nextcloud exposed to the Internet. It runs in a VM behind an nginx reverse proxy on the VM itself, and then my OPNSense router runs nginx with WAF rules. I enforce 2fa and don’t allow sign-ups.

My goal is protecting against ransomware and zerodays (as much as possible). I don’t do random clicking on links in emails or anything like that, but I’m not sure how people get hit with ransomware. I keep nextcloud updated (subscribed to RSS update feed) frequently and the VM updates everyday and reboots when necessary. I’m running the latest php-fpm and that just comes from repos so it gets updated too. HTTPS on the lan with certificates maintained by my router, and LE certs for the Internet side.

Beside hiding this thing behind a VPN (which I’m not prepared to do currently), is there anything else I’m overlooking?

    Nextcloud isn’t exposed, only a WireGuard connection allows for remote access to Nextcloud on my network.

    The whole family has WireGuard on their laptops and phones.

    They love it, because using WireGuard also means they get a by-default ad-free/tracker-free browsing experience.

    Yes, this means I can’t share files securely with outsiders. It’s not a huge problem.

      Tailscale has a feature called Funnel that enables you to share a resource over Tailscale to users who don’t have Tailscale.

      Wonder if Wireguard has something similar (Tailscale uses Wireguard)

      Wireguard is awesome and doesn’t even show up on the battery usage statistics of my phone.

      With such a small attack surface I don’t have to worry about zero days for vaultwarden and immich.
