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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Will try to see how it fits my setup when I get a chance, but I have been wanting to move away from Watchtower as it is no longer maintained. Good to know there is an alternative, and from what you describe I like your approach. Having to opt-out of updates in Watchtower never really sat right with me- Watchtower clutter is okay in compose files that actually want something to do with Watchtower...
Thank you. I hope you can find some usefulness in it. You can also do things by compose labels. As well as dynamically at runtime. Either interactively or as arguments.
Not to take away anything from the OP, but there is a fork of Watchtower that is maintained and works a lot better than the OG Watchtower. The original Watchtower would screw up the update fairly regularly. So, if you want to just yolo your updates, that'd be the way to go. If you want a bit more control, DockCheck seems to have that covered. It's always good to have choices.
