ℹ️ Security considerations from Armadietto :

Storage security

In production, we recommend that you restrict access to the files managed by your armadietto server as much as possible. This is particularly true if you host your storage on a machine with other web applications; you need to protect your files in the event that one of those apps is exploited.

You should take these steps to keep your storage safe:

• Pick a unique Unix user to run your server process; no other process on the box should run as this user: sudo useradd armadietto --system --no-create-home

• Do not run other applications as root, or as any user that could access files owned by your armadietto user

• Make sure the directory path/to/storage cannot be read, written or executed by anyone but this user: sudo chmod 0700 /path/to/storage && sudo chown armadietto /path/to/storage

• Do not run armadietto as root; if you need to bind to port 80 or 443 use a reverse proxy like nginx, Apache2, caddy, lighttpd or enable bind capability: setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' which armadietto

• Ideally, run your storage inside a container or on a dedicated machine

Important Notes

• RemoteStorage requires a dedicated domain, so obtain one and add it using the YunoHost admin panel. Domains -> Add domain.

• As RemoteStorage uses the full domain and is installed on the root, you can create a subdomain such as remote.domain.tld.

• Don't forget to update your DNS if you manage them manually.

• RemoteStorage requires browser-approved SSL certificates. If you have certificates not issued by Let's Encrypt, install them manually as usual.
