Security of Ubuntu Server with Work Data and Jellyfin/*Arr/Torrent Dockers (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone.

Glad to post on Lemmy for the first time.

I have an ubuntu that runs a whole jellyfin/arr/torrent docker stack and used to use it as my main work and backup server.

I decided it would be best practice to host my work data on a separate machine in case anything would ever go south virus wise.

I only download and host movies, shows and music there and its all being played through the jellyfin docker.

Am I being overly cautious? Can I even get a virus like that? Has that ever happened?

Or should I continue to separate work and entertainment?

More details on my setup: i3 12100 NVMe 500 GB hosting OS and docker files (including jellyfin cache for snappy access) 5x4TB HDD mergerfs and snapraid

Ubuntu 22 LTS Tailscale Mullvad

You are not being overly cautious. You should absolutely practice isolation. The LastPass hack happened because one of their engineers had a vulnerable Plex server hosted from his work machine. Honestly, next iteration of my home network is going to probably have 4 segments. Home/Users, IOT, Lab, and Work.

How can anyone run a Plex server on their work machine? And why doesn't their IT dept monitor their devices?
