  • I think I got it what you meant. I've only tested it on a LXC that has one application installed on it, like Jellyfin for instance. I need to run a test on a machine with several applications. I also need to test it to see how it behaves with Portainer. Regarding the option of "import YAML" it just works with one file at the time. I think I'd be nice to handle multiple compose files so users could just drop them and have them uploaded.

  • I think the main difference it's the simplicity on what is intended to do. Essentially it's a way to centralize all of your docker images, and give you a quick visual on what is outdated so you can update it yourself.

  • 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".

  • That's a great question isn't it? That's why I posted it here, so maybe I can find people interested in working on this project and help me out to clean things up, get it more organized, structured and "free of AI slop". What do you think?

  • Hi Appoxo, I agree that AI can be slop, but it seems like it's getting better over time. I'm not claiming that this is a revolutionary new application, it's more like a prove of concept that I wanted to test out. What does it do? well, you basically have a centralized place to keep tracking of your docker images and get a notification when there's a new release so you can update it manually or automatically as you wish that's the main utility of it. There are a few other things but, maybe thye aren't interesting enough.

  • 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.

  • I won't stop just because you're saying it. You can only "know what you're doing by doing it". That's why I made this project public available so anyone interested in looking at it, modifying it, improving it is more than welcome. I'm not selling it or claiming that I'm an expert. Quite the opposite, I'm looking for people who are genuinely interested in exploring new things and helping people out. I'll rely on the experience and good will of experts of this community.

  • 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.

  • Thanks brother, I appreciate it. Security is one of my main concerns too, that's why I'll rely on the experts around here to point out what could be improved.

  • Yeah, absolutely. You can set the notifications as you wish.

  • Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking about when I started this project. I've noticed that many home labers are a bit skeptical with automatic updates. I'm glad you liked the idea

  • Well, I'm no tech expert at all so I'm just trying to get things right. I might not be able to answer everything, but I'll do my best to get you an answer.
