I am without a doubt the biggest dummy I can ever think I could possibly be just be careful when you are vibe coding and putting stuff online firewalls and open ports and networks exist for a reason and don't miss stuff don't think the AI has got you because it doesn't it will forget stuff and unless you're thinking about it you will forget stuff too.

DigitalmooneyOh no, sorry to hear this, perhaps you can create a best practice video from the lessons learnt? Would appreciate it greatly

Feb 9, 2026don't be dumb. that's the lesson I learned! 😂

RobinRugChunkhow was this an expensive mistake? Do not tell me you do not have backups set up?
2
Creator
Feb 4, 2026nope no backups... and I spent a whole lot of tokens processing search queriy text into json for search filters

Jim OlerThanks for sharing

brändohowso was it an expensive loss? the time spent building it?
2
Creator
Feb 3, 2026yeah, I spent a heap in credits processing data and hadn't got the backup done, before the processed data was lost.. about $200 in tokens :(

Matt SeligmanYou may be able to map the ip to cloudflare and set the domains name servers to cloud flares name servers.

MintBlueNeon |-/Well. Backup and restore.

JohnBy attaching a firewall are you using another vps as one or just something like ufw on the host
1
Creator
Feb 3, 2026the default firewall rules builder in hetzner. nothing special.
D1NGOI have a funny one, I paid a scammer just to find him. 🤡 15 bucks well spent 😄
Wavy Crocket🌊🏄🏽♂️I use a small free cloud server as my firewall… double layered with crowdsec, crowdsec on the cloud server and my home server, and have a vpn connecting the two using a proxy. Never had any issues

SandertpOkay, but you're not self hosting it then.
1
Wavy Crocket🌊🏄🏽♂️All of my services are self hosted.. the cloud machine is just the tunnel to access my services from the internet using a subdomain.

Glenski 🇨🇦|📷|☠️The only safe way to deploy these apps is to use Cloudflare Worker

Max DiOrioOdd - usually new infrastructure is fail closed by default. You allow in what you want.

Feb 3, 2026I'm just lucky.
sambusak7I used cloudflared can you make a video using that and showing how to properly secure it?

Creator
Feb 3, 2026yeah, I can do something :)
Modnar !our bro got hacked and instead of hiding it he allows us to benefit from it. We do not deserve big bro.

Feb 3, 2026lol, it's so easy to make basic mistakes! gatekeeping is for gooners.
Michael WheatlandHow was this even possible using a modern router? how many ports did you open to the public?
1
Michael WheatlandAlso, VPS Isn't the same as self hosting. VPS is explicitly NOT self hosting. You are relying on someone else's infrastructure. Actually self host and use strict VLAN and Docker custom network rules to protect your services
Creator
Feb 3, 2026all of them, there were no safeguards anywhere at all.
Creator
Feb 3, 2026true, but I'm not able to pay for a colocation server with my own hardware in a datacentre. so this is as close as I can afford.

Wavy Crocket🌊🏄🏽♂️Get a free machine from oracle… it’s what I use to host my websites and services in home lab. Just make sure you don’t get hacked if you are publicly sharing services.
1
Creator
Feb 3, 2026not a big fan of them :(
Wavy Crocket🌊🏄🏽♂️Is it because of the requirements of usage?
tiktommdmiland also authentication is needed in most cases. just because a port is open doesn't mean game over.

MarvinVLANs arent doing anything unless you have a firewall

Feb 3, 2026lol, the fact I've been in tech for the last 15+ years should have made me wiser to the basics...😳

MegaMajice.com - Norijada.comThe port was open but doesn't the database need credentials to give you access?
2
Creator
Feb 3, 2026I was wondering if that would get mentioned, yup... and guess who didn't update the env variables to not use the default... ME. I didn't. it was every dumb mistake you could make.
9
MegaMajice.com - Norijada.comYeah, it happens. Also the database/user credentials should't have defaults. It should force you to create a new password.
