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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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

Hi all, I've been looking for a solution for keeping track of the versions of my docker containers and when they might need updates. I tried cup and cupdate but I didn't feel like I had enough granular control of which docker images were showing up and it was tricky to find github release notes for each release. I found argus which allows more control (indeed, you have to manually configure each service you add) and you essentially scrape github for version numbers and then either scrape your service webpage for a version number or use a service's api for version. This works for a lot of services, and I really like it so far. However, I have no idea how to get version numbers for some services like karakeep or actual. My question is: are there hacky ways that I can expose version numbers from my services, or am I shit out of luck if it's not on the login page or exposed by an API?

Thanks!

Y’know, this would make a lot of sense. I can try it! It’s puzzling though that argus wouldn’t have this in their documentation though (I’ve looked)
