So far, my self-hosting has been limited to Pi-Hole, and a static website. I now want to try out something new, an **Immich ** server.
I have a static IP from my ISP, so I don’t need to rent out a VPS. However, given that this IS a home internet, I want to be extra sure that it is going to be secure.
In my existing website, I use Fail2Ban + BadBotBlocker + Anubis + Nginx rate limits to protect it from scrapers, bots and malicious users, and it works well. With photos (especially family photos) at stake, I just want to know more on how to protect my server.


I’m sorry, could you rephrase that? I think there are a few typos in your post.
@Maroon no it just wasn’t verifying anything at all, but now it’s fixed. Thanks
