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.

haha that’s ok bro, have you rant. I’m a Mr. complainer myself. Although, I’ve been trying really hard lately to avoid “unnecessary or premature criticism” and this shit is one of the hardest things I’ve ever tried. Regarding the security concerns, I absolutely agree with you that this is top priority and mandatory. That’s why we set testing environments for this type of things, right? There’s a common feeling that I’ve noticed from the tech community regarding the usage of AI that to me is similar to “musicians vs DJs” or “classical musicians vs Jazz”, I’m sorry if this analogy isn’t the best one, but these are the communities that I’m more familiar with. Some are really opened, others are absolutely against and concerned (rightly so to some degree) and others fall in the middle. I think what we’re experiencing is more of a huge paradigm change, a clash of personalities and the natural fear of the unknown and changes. Maybe the most excited people are really the ones who knows very little and have no idea of the negative potential of these tools or perhaps the so skeptical ones are those who don’t know yet how to reconcile this shift and what to make out it. Who knows? I’ll end up with my rant too… I hate the “enshitification” of the internet content because of AI lol. I’ve read somewhere that the AI text have surpassed the human generate one in the web :,( Lots of people have claimed that my comments “look like AI”… as if they would be that good at identifying it anyways. I’m not a bot by the way. I just found that Lemmy feels more genuine than Reddit (let’s leave this rant to another time).

Peace bro!

Totally agree with that. I was trying to keep things as simple as possible, but there was always a new thing to try. I’m currently not implementing anything new, just focusing on enhancing what is already there.

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.

That’s pretty cool, I’ve never heard about newreleases.io I might take a look at it later. Thanks

That’s actually a good idea. I was thinking about getting the features “working” as intended. I’ll give it a try to the “explain back” method and see how it goes. Thanks

I hate bots, for real… I kind of miss the old days of internet where we could jump in a forum or any community to talk and connect with people. But I kind of get the point of building mechanisms to reduce the “bots infestation”. Things are definitely more complex to visually and/or auditory impaired people. But at least, Lemmy isn’t as annoying as Reddit and people sound genuine.

I think documenting everything is key so people can clearly see the progress. I didn’t know that you could merge the changes to the main branch and that it is a core skill as you mentioned. I kind of noticed exactly what you said “it may change other parts of that file that you didn’t ask for” while doing some tweaks. This AI topic has too many branches and it’s a fascinating topic for debates. Thanks for taking the time to give this advice.

Geez, it’s really hard to have normal conversation nowadays on the internet. There’s this constant skepticism of AI comments, and I get it. Most of the time I just feel like I’m talking to bots. However, I’m surprised that people really take their time to give their opinions here and they seem to be legit. Weirdly enough, I’m quite a positive and enthusiastic person… or at least I’m trying to practice that. There’s been too much negativity around me lately, but who cares about what happens in my life, right haha? Don’t need to explain myself to any one, but just felt like I needed to do.

In this world of technology, applications there are too many areas of expertise required to make things “functional” I’m not sure if I can learn everything required to make applications at the level of the most popular ones. I’m more interested in general knowledge and putting ideas out there. I still think that getting this project to the public even if it’s not that great, is still better than have it just on my computer. So, the main purpose is to hear from people what they think of the project, maybe inspire others with more experience to put their projects out there too. My expectations were pretty low about this project, but it turned out to be a great experience to engage with many people from different background just like you.

No worries, reddwarf. I should’ve pointed out that this project was created using AI. It seems that having a tag for this type of projects can definitely avoid some misunderstandings. I hope you have a great day!

Hi Thaurin, I appreciate your feedback, I understand that security must be a top priority. I’m glad your pointing it out. If you have any advice on how to improve it, it’ll be more than welcome.

That’s right, I’ve been working on this project for a few weeks. I wasn’t sure if I should commit it to a public repo, but I thought it’d nice to have other people testing it out, and giving their opinion. Honestly, I never used github before, that’s why the account is new. I committed everything at once, when I felt like the application was “functional”.

Hi markko, you’re right, adding a tag would certainly lower expectations and give more clarity to projects. I’ll add this on the post and to the repo.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Hi @ramielrowe thanks for the feedback, that’s actually pretty good and I’ll start using it. I understand that all this AI thing can be sloppy, and create more friction than good, but I’m really fascinated by how it can help people with little knowledge to build something that a few years ago would’ve been only possible by experts.

I get your point about giving proper credit to the tools involved, and that’s fair. I’m not trying to pass this off as traditional from-scratch coding. Reducing it to “you did nothing” feels a bit excessive. At the same time, there’s still effort in figuring out what to build, iterating, debugging, and getting something functional out. That’s the part I’m happy about.

Hi Dan, I’m also copying the answer from homelab community.

Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. For the first question, you click on add and past the image you’re currently using on your compose so the app creates a card with the current version. It’s a bit manual and tedious at first, but once it’s done, it’s easier to maintain. I think your idea is great to have the app just ¨find your docker-compose and do the work", but I don’t know how to do it yet. I wanted to test it manually first and see how it’d work out.

Vigil tells you if the newer version of the image is a major change or not. If you set it to update your compose automatically it will notify you and create a log, it something goes wrong you can easily revert it from the dashboard. Did I get your question right? Let me know if you meant something else.

Finally, security is an absolute must! I decided to use 2FA because most people won’t need to expose it to the web.They’ll probably use it on LAN. However, I do have adding OIDC (OpenID Connect) in mind, since many people indeed use Authentik, Authelia (these are the ones I’m familiar with). Since this is the early version, I didn’t want to make things too complex and also, I’m vibecoding it, so I’ll certainly need some experts out there to help me out to implement it correctly and safely.

If you have any question, just let me know and I’ll try my best to answer that.

It’s not a bad idea at all to have a label so we could set expectations right. But don’t be too harsh on me ;) Just being able to pull a functional app without much of experience is already a reasonable accomplishment is it?

Absolutelly vibecoding it with Cloude. I understand a bit of python and html but I’m no dev or technical professional at all. I just wanted to see if I could build something useful without much of technical expertise.
