Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Those of you self hosters who use watchtower, what's your use case?
Auto update. Works like a charm, except PostgreSQL. For me it's good enough and even though works with containers, where they don't recommend it. I do have backups and for my private time, I don't get paid, so it should be as maintenance as possible from my side.
I do check from time to time if something is broken and I noticed a container where they removed a version tag, I was using. The "biggest" thing that was broken, was my gitea server where they changed the config for the default Theme.
Also that's why I hate PostgreSQL. It requires manual labor for updating. Had a recipe Docker and they cut support for previous major version quickly. Not good. That stuff could break, ist an option with every update. This is why backups exist. As a single user, it's not a problem. For a big system, I wouldn't do auto updates, so I can check if everything works.
