    Watchtower, the automatic container image update platform notorious for breaking things

    That’s kind of a bullshit allegation. Watchtower did what it did, if you set it up to grab unstable tags, then too bad for you.

    I feel like I just want to check out of society lately.

    Charging money to run your own actions, what the fuck?

    But the same thought goes with the new increased iOS ads, and just the general state of “now you’re locked in, let the gouging begin” phase of tech. I’m so fucking tired of it.

    I know this is self hosted, but man I’m ready to start living in a cave.

    Congrats to all the execs, you’ve completely ruined the tech industry.

      Part of the app resides on the GitHub infrastructure, where GitHub stores, processes and displays results. So their costs are not zero.

      But GitHub could take a “tax the rich” approach to pricing by charging enterprise customers more for self-hostingand leave it free for others.

      A lot of open source is funded like that— most funding for a project comes from a very few companies and everything else uses it free or for very low donations or costs.

    :/ shit.

    I’m pretty sure I saw this a few months ago and moved to the beatkind/watchtower fork, but it’s not been updated in 6mo either. (Devs only been active in private repos; so they’re still around, just not actively working on watchtower)

    Guess I’ll find another solution. Hell, I might just put my own script on crontab. Looping through folders running docker compose down/pull/up isn’t too hard really.
