BSD: fail2ban and self-hosting

Dan Langille ☛ fail2ban – adding to my website to deter abuse

First, I installed fail2ban on the host. It will monitor log files in the jails. I’m not going to explain what jails are. You’ll need to read their docs.

Michał Sapka ☛ Should I self-host my site?

But then another idea came: I have an unused Raspberry PI4. Sometimes my genius scares me. This little fella is way more than a FreeBSD server serving just this site needs.
