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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Dang it I finally literally just updated yesterday after not updating for like six months and being lazy haha.

Nice new features though and no breaking changes so no big deal. Just update it again today, I guess.

Good news, they just released v1.130.1

Always wait a couple days before doing a big upgrade. These smaller projects tend to have patch releases pretty soon after a major release.

I use Actual Budget, and they have had a .1 release within a day or so of pretty much every release since I've been using them.

If you're okay debugging some stuff, by all means, get the .0 right away and submit reports. But if you're not going to do that, wait a couple days.

I wish I could set my Immich Docker image to a specific version other than 'latest' and let Watchtower update it automatically. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a major release for every breaking change.

you could use dockcheck, it has this feature: -d N Only update to new images that are N+ days old.

Dockcheck is the way to go

I don't use Watchtower, but many images follow semver so setting the version to something that you feel comfortable with can help.

I use podman and set my images to auto-update, and I just use a tag that's broad enough to probably not break stuff with the auto-updates.
