I recently got a synology nas that I use for a bit of plex (without being series fan), backups of my Mac, various photo data, projects, etc. ...
I have a podcast with friends and we thought it would be nice to switch from Google Drive to Nextcloud and in that case, my Nas could maybe do the trick but being rather new to the self-hosting scene, it scares me a bit too. So would you have any advice on how best to manage opening up my server to the internet?
I'd also like to point out that apart from nextcloud, I also had some ideas for web projects (I'm a web dev) to run on it and share with a few people.
Without knowing anything about it, I'm thinking that maybe the best thing would be to only allow certain ip's to connect? Really it's just a hypothesis, I'm really interested in advice!
Thanks in advance!
