I’m having trouble staying on top of updates for my self hosted applications and infrastructure. Not everything has auto updates baked in and some things you may not want to auto update. How do y’all handle this? How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? Are there e.g. feeds for specific applications I can subscribe to via RSS or email?

    95% of things I just don’t expose to the net; so I don’t worry about them.

    Most of what I do expose doesn’t really have access to any sensitive info; at most an attacker could delete some replaceable media. Big whoop.

    The only thing I expose that has the potential for massive damage is OpenVPN, and there’s enough of a community and money invested in that protocol/project that I trust issues will be found and fixed promptly.

    Overall I have very little available to attack, and a pretty low public presence. I don’t really host any services for public use, so there’s very little reason to even find my domain/ip, let alone attack it.
