- Comment on How To: Automate version update for your selfhosted Docker containers with Gitea, Renovate, and Komodo 1 day ago:
I use it in a homelab, I don’t need to apply prod/team/high-availability solutions to my Audiobookshelf or Mealie servers. If an upgrade goes wrong, I’ll restore from backup. Honestly, in the handful of years I’ve been doing this, only one upgrade of an Immich container caused me trouble and I just needed to change something in the compose file and that was it.
I get using these strategies if you’re hosting something important or just want to play with new shiny stuff but, in my humble opinion, any extra effort or innovating in a homelab should be spent on backups. It’s all fun and games until your data goes poof!

Komodo is a big topic so I’ll leave this here (komo.do)[komo.do].
In a nutshell, though, all of Komodo is backed by a TOML-based config. You can get the config for your entire setup from a button on the dashboard. If have all of your compose files inline (using the editor in the UI) and you version control this file, you can basically spin up your entire environment from config (thus my Terraform/Cloudformation comparison). You can then either edit the file and commit, which will allow a “Resource Sync” to pick it up and make changes to the system or, you can enable “managed mode” and allow committing changes from the UI to the repo.

I guess I don’t get that granular. It will respect the current docker compose image path. So. if you have the
latesttag, that’s what it will use. Komodo is a big topic: https://komo.do - Comment on How To: Automate version update for your selfhosted Docker containers with Gitea, Renovate, and Komodo 2 days ago:
Not sure why Renovate is necessary when Komodo has built-in functionality to update Docker images/containers. I wish there was an option to check less often (like once a day), maximum time is hourly.
Also, if you’re using Komodo and have one big repo of compose files, consider just saving your entire config toml to a repo instead. You end up with something akin to Terraform or Cloudformation for your Docker hosts

I even turn off the “frequently used apps” features on android launchers. If I frequently use it, I’ve already put it in a prominent spot so I can access it easily. I don’t need some frecency algorithm or ai to tell me I use something frequently, I already know!
Knowing exactly where something is every time is far better than that thing I’m looking for being buried because I want to use it during a time of day that I don’t normally
