Note that this implementation of Electrum server is optimized for **personal/small-scale (family/friends) usage**.
It's a bad idea to run it publicly as it'd expose you to DoS and maybe also other attacks.
If you want to run a public server you may be interested in the [Blockstream fork of electrs](https://github.com/Blockstream/electrs)
which is better optimized for public usage at the cost of consuming *significantly* more resources.
