It's been a while! Let us know what you're currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.

I haven't been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there's a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn't be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn't configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.

[Meta] I'm not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I'm not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn't be much of the discussion, but it's an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.

The best thing I did was probably set up Obsidian Live Sync after hearing about it in selfh.st weekly. Compared to the Syncthing setup I had before it is so much quicker, much easier to catch sync errors, and won't drain my damn phone battery as much! The more things I can move away from Syncthing the better so I will probably be looking at Immich for my photos soon as well.

On the management side, I've had my Docker stacks split across Dockhand and Komodo ever since a poorly executed move away from Dockge a few months ago. I finally thought about it and had the time to decide to give up on them both. I like some of the concepts of compose in a git repo and the fancier interfaces, but I just realised it was all over the top for what I need. I missed being able to simply SSH into a damn machine and docker compose up -d in an emergency. Compared to the constant deploy errors of Dockhand and the potential of scrounging application databases for in-DB compose data or attempting to deploy stacks from forgejo when forgejo itself is a stack deployed via git... going back to basic files is a blessing. Lesson learned!

What that culminated in is all my stacks are now in Sencho (which clearly uses a lot of AI code sadly), but it was that or Dockge and I knew Dockge lacked a few things I wanted. The nice thing about Sencho (and Dockge) is that I don't need either of them because they are based around file-on-disk simple operation. I can cut it out of my setup entirely at any moment and not shed a tear. So much peace of mind leaving Dockhand. Now I just need to find a builder image or write a script to replace Komodo's build feature because I don't want to keep using it.
