If you really need to expose something to the internet set yourself up an SSO/OIDC provider and have it sit in front of the service and have a deny-first policy in place, whitelist the known few IP’s that need to connect regularly or alternatively geoblock.
Also suggest setting up some security headers, however headers can be confusing for beginners.
Virtualize or containerize everything.
Somebody watched the backrooms recently.
Is this a question or a statement?
It’s clear that Redlibs maintainer is burnt out, as were the LibReddit folks who developed and maintained it initially before it was forked. Software like this is an endless cat and mouse chase, Reddit break something, the community works around it, rinse and repeat.
It’s why we don’t see Bibliogram around anymore, Instagram made their APi unbearable to work with.
In regard to the difficulty of keeping a Redlib instance alive, currently most of the discussion occurs in one issues post on GitHub, and people have suggested other docker images that currently work.
If you host a SearXNG instance you can replace Reddit links with Redlib links, just add this to your settings.yaml.
hostnames:
replace:
'(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'lib.your.domain'
'(.*\.)?redd\.it$': 'lib. your.domain'
Ubuntu is based off of Debian, just use Debian instead.

Matrix is nice but it’s clear they’re appeasing more towards shareholders than the community, self-hosting via Docker Compose was a PIA as there are 4-5 services that need to talk to one another.
What distro are you using? There are 3 big distro’s you need to keep in mind for, Debian, Arch and Fedora, every other distro typically bases themselves off of one of these big distro’s.
Documentation is your friend, if you’re using a Debian based distros the
stress ngrepository linked above has this in their documentation -(run the commands below to install the package)
Now that is installed, they have an examples section.
