Would you recommend changing the ports for SQL, access credentials, etc., when the server is hosted on a cloud server? I mean, the server is only reachable from my IP, so it shouldn't be necessary, right?

I didn't do that for any of my servers running on Oracle servers. As long as security is good enough, it's fine. I use a 16-character (numbers, letters, special characters) password generated by KeePass and there's no way in hell anyone would **ever** crack it.

Alright, I've activated SSH for myself, allowed only my IP in the provider's firewall, set up fail2ban, and additionally configured ufw where only my IP is whitelisted. That should be more than sufficient, don't you think?

Yes. I didn't have to of course, Oracle takes care of that (aside from whitelisting only my ip, but anti-ddos and much more) and I have never had any issues what so ever.

Personally I wouldn't be the least bit worried with those safety measures. I know plenty of people here would disagree with me but we don't all have the choices some expect.

The only thing on top of what you mentioned I'd recommend is frequent backups stored elsewhere, for more than one reason. I take hourly backups and store them using MEGA so I can always access them even if my server was compromised (which isn't going to happen).
