Hi, I’m setting up a public wiki using mediawiki and I’d like some help ensuring the server and mediawiki is safely setup before I start sharing it publicly. I installed it on Vultr using the mediawiki app from the Vultr Marketplace. Are there any things I should ensure before publicly sharing the link?
Some things I’ve done so far:
-
I disabled password login to the server so its only possible to login via ssh
-
I made it so I have to approve of any edits to the wiki
-
I still haven’t enabled uploads of files because I want to ensure I only allow jpeg\png uploads.
I’m relatively new to running servers so any tips are highly appreciated.
if you configure ssh access only from your home ip - then fail2ban is not needed.
But if your home ip ever changes, you‘re fucked. I would never do that. Pubkey is the way.
usually i add more than 1 ip and also vultr firewall can be managed to change ip. tailscale can be used as well. there are options!
