I’ve managed to set up a baikal server to sync my calendars and tasks instead of using a free cloud service provided by nextcloud. I’m able to reach it from beyond my local network, but this is all very new to me and I’m a little worried about what permanently leaving a port open for this.

I’m hoping to find some resources for securing this, before leaving it up all the time. I suppose as an alternative I can always only run it at home and only sync when I’m home but this seems less ideal.

Thanks a bunch for the help in advance. I really appreciate it.

    Just in case you never heard of it, there is also the option to use Tailscale. It lets you connect to your services without opening any ports and uses Wireguard under the hood but makes configuration simpler
