A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

All umami instances have been infected with a persisting crypto miner. Umami was affected by the next.js CVE but quietly released a fix, so most of their users missed it
This could explain why my 4C/8T VPS started hitting 100% CPU usage shortly after boot with like next to nothing else running on it.
Link? Did you discover this yourself? There is no actual info here.
All recently open issues are about this. I was a victim, but I'm not the first and people on reddit have done better investigations than I have. Look for the name of the process at the top
Thanks.
For severe incidents like this, please post the most appropriate link, in this case https://github.com/umami-software/umami/issues/3852
Admins in self hosted usually don't have that much experience with real, active compromise and may panic, let's help them as much as possible.
I will add that Umami itself is not compromised, but vulnerable. That is a somewhat misleading title.
What was the vector? Did you have umami exposed publicly?
I don’t know about “all umami instances being infected” but they were certainly all vulnerable.
Look inside

Just another day on the job
All umami instances have been infected with a persisting crypto miner.
Source for that claim? Because it sounds like you've misunderstood something.
Also, I'm kinda glad my instance has been offline for a while now because of database trouble. That was lucky.
Wow I'm glad I happened to see this here. Thank you for the post. I was just thinking about putting all my services behind a VPN too, I think I'm going to go ahead and put that at the top of the list...
I don't think a vpn would help here
