Planning ticket to check out and investigate further possibilities at security
hardening. Ideally these should be contributed upstream if applicable.

Things to consider:

  • per-service user accounts (used in any half-sane service)
  • apparmor profiles (used almost nowhere)
  • systemd hardening (used almost nowhere)

Of course, service-specific hardening strategies implemented in code also play a
role. For Postfix and OpenSSH for instance I am way less concerned than e.g. for
Jitsi. At the bare minimum, all services should run under a dedicated user.

This ticket is not for evaluating resource limits per service (e.g. to prevent
DoS on externally reachable services), although it might also be interesting to
evaluate that.
