Selfhosted
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).
-
No trolling.

Phrasing is a bit strange. Does this mean ssh can only be used to login with a key? If so - great!
Since you're using an "app" - not sure there's much we can help you with. The control has been ceded to the maker of said app.
I would normally set up some limits on the firewall and change the ssh port so logs are less polluted, not sure it's possible for you.
Yeah its only possible to login with a key.
What limits would you set on the firewall?
From the bit I've read people usually say changing the ssh port is mostly "security theatre" is this not fully true?
For the limit : basically you need to ask yourself how many connection someone if able to do in a second to your server. As an example, my limit is always 15. A bit high but I'm sure I'm not blocking a legitimate one (either from myself or someone else)
For the ssh port : it's true, but trust me you'll be happy to change for something random like 5927 because you'll have far less bit trying to connect or probe your ip, thus your logs won't be cluttered!
