    You’ve got the right ideas. Noone should ever be storing any password in plaintext. It should always be hashed and only the hash stored. That’s like WEBDEV99 (remedial course, not even 101).

    Really. Despite your stated “noobishness”, you basically landed in the territory of best practices right of the bat.

    If you’re looking for a good source of best practices, the CIS benchmarks are great. https://www.cisecurity.org/

      Brother, I need the “remedial” lessons since I self-host a lot of my experimental DNN solutions on a GPU cluster served via CasaOS/Ubuntu-Server LTS.

      I’ve followed basic tutorials about nginx, end-to-end encryption, and DNS, but I need more knowledge and training about the theory behind modern security best practices. I think I’m doing okay but I have this ever-present anxiety that I’ve overlooked something and my ass (i.e., sensitive data) is really just hanging out in the wind.

      Thank you for your recommendation.
