Self-Hosting at Home and Privacy
In this blog post, you will learn that self-hosting your own services at home coud leak some information about you
A domain name must expose some information through WHOIS queries, basically who is the registrar responsible for it, and who could be contacted for technical or administration matters. Some bored sysadmin could take a look at the IPs in their logs, and check if some public service is running on it, polling for secure services (HTTPS, IMAPS, SMTPS) will immediately give associated domain name on that IP, then they could search even further. Self-hosting at home can be practical for various reasons: reusing old hardware, better local throughput, high performance for cheap... but you need to be aware of potential privacy issues that could come with it.
