Slop alert. Use at your own risk
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.

Yeah, I was looking for that info, because I don't trust any (especially new projects, that use AI).
How did you know, it was AI though? I am just curious
The OP says so in the comments, but also:
- two week old github account, project created 2 weeks ago
- initial commit is a large 1.0 release with everything committed at once
- this also happens for 2.0 where everything is commited in one commit
- the code and comment structure
Also the look of the UI I can see default Claude UI a mile away these days. Always the same colours, fonts, layouts, ect...
there has to be a better way than giving a slop coded project access to your docker daemon (im assuming?)
Sorry, but you have posted only 1 sentence about the project and not even a link to the project.
Additional with the
scripts—basically "em dash" which is really popular among llm generated texts, i get a bad feeling about it.
Make it support Podman next.
Their AI agent doesn't understand that.
I'd love too if I knew how to do that. I still have lots of things to learn and do before putting my toes on these waters, but I'm glad you showed some interest even to mention an integration with other tools. Thanks for that.
My god. This timeline is so horrible.
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Great idea. Automatic updates (e.g. Watchtower) make me a little nervous.
Copying my comment from the homelab community:
I haven't tried it yet, but here's some initial thoughts:
Does it support multiple separate docker-compose.yml files? It would be useful if it could pull the list of containers directly from Docker rather than having to paste the docker-compose.
Does it pull changelogs so that the user can tell if a change is a breaking change that'll require extra work?
It would be useful to support Webauthn/FIDO2 2FA instead of just TOTP. TOTP is being slowly phased out due to its weaknesses (it's phishable). Similarly, it'd be useful to support single sign on using OIDC (OpenID Connect) as a lot of self-hosters use Authentik, Authelia, or Keycloak to have one login for all their self hosted services.
Thanks for the proof of concept. I suppose it's essentially a self-hosted version of newreleases.io?
That's pretty cool, I've never heard about newreleases.io I might take a look at it later. Thanks
I've been looking for a dashboard for my containers, might test it out later
Sounds great, I've just released a small update after some feedback here. There's still a lot to be done, but let me know what you think once you test it.
Looks like a cool project. Starred.
I'm no tech expert either, so I'll keep an eye on how the community reacts to it, in terms of security.
Keep up the good work!
