Here's some questions:
Note that I'm not picking on you, nor is this list comprehensive or in priority order. I'm trying to determine if you've considered these common issues and concerns associated with hosting stuff that has great sentimental value, if not actual value.
this is certainly a good list of questions, but isn't the answer to most of them just good backup hygiene? and how are ai bots a threat to me?
AI bots will hammer your endpoints into the ground if left unchecked. They'll happily compromise your services while they're at it.
It looks like cloudflare has some mitigating services in place you can implement but that's for sure something I'm starting to look at
Don't feel picked on at all, these are great questions! Here's my thoughts:
What happens when you die?
[I grouped the below questions together with the same answer] This is where backups matter, and I'm thinking of setting up a backup system where you can have it backed up wherever you want instead of using the hosted services I'll have up. Or at the very least a make it easy to setup for people
[And the below grouped] This is where I'm looking at industry standards for managing and mitigating. Ensuring I have proper API key rotations, security scans, etc. The AI bots is interesting but I think needing an account for content should help on this side
Really some great questions that got me thinking and making some changes to it
Excellent. Thank you.
Now look at the questions again and when you read the word "you", insert "preludeofme".
I'm asking because you're also wanting to offer a service to customers.
Oh as far as the hosting side? Well I'm not hosting it on my hardware, but as far as support goes that part will be on me and the open source community. If there's enough interest beyond just me then I'll probably get some help on the support side but I don't think it's going to require too much beyond what I already do. But definitely point taken
