I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.
- What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
- What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
- What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

Silly question how safe are caddy plugins? (especially dns challenge modules like cloudflare, duckdns, etc).
https://github.com/caddy-dns https://github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare/tree/master
Not sure if those plugins are covered by caddy’s security disclosure policy

I maintain the DNS plugin for Vultr and I can say that it’s “safe”, but if you’re worried you should check their source code.
I believe it’s easier to have a vulnerability in the external provider’s API (for example, caddy-dns/vultr uses govultr) than Caddy. But I wouldn’t take things for granted if I was skeptical about these plugins.
