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.

RTFM
I cannot recall a single self-hosted software documentation that mentions how to keep the docker config file up to date. Why bother wasting 5 seconds writing such an unhelpful comment
Tell me you don't read the manual without saying you don't read the manual.
I can recall a few! Mastodon. Lemmy. PiHole. Penpot. Mealie. Uptime Kuma.
They all mention required steps to upgrade between releases, including what to do to your docker installations and environment variables.
PLENTY of projects make tiny non-breaking changes to the compose files without any mention that users should update the file. For example, adding a section for a container health check. While these can be no big deal for a while over time they can add up to major changes in the config that users may not catch if they are not comparing yml files.
