A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Take a look at certbot. You don't need to pay for ssl and ssl is actually pretty mandatory for anything served on the internet.
Make sure you don't forward too much ports. And make sure you have a working firewall that only allow those same ports. You should be good to go then.
Also be advised that wordpress will attract all the internet to try and hack in, so make sure you keep everything up to date
Setting up fail2ban to block people trying to brute force the admin panel is a good start.
