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

They weren't using docker and the Plex software was multiple years out of data:

https://thehackernews.com/2023/03/lastpass-hack-engineers-failure-to.html

The shortcoming, which was discovered and reported to Plex by Tenable in March 2020, was addressed by Plex in version 1.19.3.2764 released on May 7, 2020. The current version of Plex Media Server is 1.31.1.6733.

"Unfortunately, the LastPass employee never upgraded their software to activate the patch," Plex said in a statement. "For reference, the version that addressed this exploit was roughly 75 versions ago."
