In NPM, set up an access list like this:

Last one should be your public IP address, with “/32” on the end.

Use this access list for all services you don’t want the wider internet to see (probably all of them for you). With this setup, you can still open a service, if you want, but normally you’ll need to be on your VPN to see it from outside your house.

Every once in a while, you should run these commands in each services folder:

docker compose pull docker compose up -d # check if everything is still good docker system prune -a

You should also back up your services folder regularly. That’s beyond the scope of this Lemmy comment, though.

  Just to be super clear for any beginners reading,
  
  docker system prune - a
  
  isn’t a command that will check if everything is still working. You have to manually check your services are ok and, if they’re working, then you can run the prune command.
  
  prune is a command that removes any unused container images.

    Oh yes. Sorry, I worded that poorly. Thank you for clarifying.
