Selfhosted
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.

I share my Home Assistant with family, Nextcloud and Jellyfin with family and friends and websites/blog with the entire world.
I do it with a domain and a subdomain for each service. Each website/service has it's own Let's Encrypt SSL cert managed by Traefik. So all the family members and friends need is the URL and usernames and passwords. Like any other service. I don't know what you did to become flagged as malicious by Google, but my services have run for years without such an issue. So maybe it's just time to switch to a different domain name?
My dynamic public IP recently got flagged by Google and it wouldn't allow logins to any Google accounts coming from my home, even with multiple correct authentication factors. We could connect though the data plan on our phones without a problem because they got (other) IPs from the mobile carrier, but not through the home ISP. We got security emails asking "is this you?" but confirming did nothing. It went away only when the ISP cycled to another of their public ranges.
Might be way off here but have you checked if you actually got hacked and they just didn’t destroy anything?
I would entertain the possibility if there was any sign, or if I knew how Google takes these decisions.
Honestly, I would just take this as an indicator of something fishy going on. Either google crawled your ip and found things it didn’t like or stuff came out of it to google. Either a scripted action (which looks malicious from the outside) or advertising emails. Your logs should at least tell you if there have been any suspicious logins on any of the exposed services.
That's the thing, the only thing I have open to the Internet is a port forwarded SSH with non-root key authentication, into an up-to-date Debian stable. The logs show no attempts. The odds of someone breaking into public key OpenSSH and getting root, with daily security updates, are rather slim IMHO. The router is also an attack surface but it runs up to date OpenWRT.
In this case I‘m out of ideas. :) but thanks for elaborating. I appreciate it.
