I’ve managed to set up a baikal server to sync my calendars and tasks instead of using a free cloud service provided by nextcloud. I’m able to reach it from beyond my local network, but this is all very new to me and I’m a little worried about what permanently leaving a port open for this.

I’m hoping to find some resources for securing this, before leaving it up all the time. I suppose as an alternative I can always only run it at home and only sync when I’m home but this seems less ideal.

Thanks a bunch for the help in advance. I really appreciate it.

    As a friendly suggestion: Don’t rely on wireguard alone, try instead services like tailscale or zerotier because if you set up ur server in residential zone, there are huge chances that you will hit some cg-nat in other cities / countries.

    Those are nasty problems that wireguard is not able to solve but those programs can

    Apart of that this is the zero risk approach and it should be the default one.
