**#A quick edit to address something important and provide a disclaimer: **

Thank you all for your feedback! This project was "vibecoded" with Cloude AI and serves more as a "proof of concept" for what could be achieved with AI assistance. I'm just a tech enthusiast, and I'm excited to continue exploring new possibilities. I understand there’s a real concern about “AI Slop,” but that's exactly why I’m sharing this project with you all so that experts who are interested in the idea can offer guidance or even help improve it.

I’ve noticed that many people with home labs prefer to update their applications manually instead of relying on other apps that automate the process. Often, they have to check each one individually. That’s where Vigil comes in. The primary function of Vigil is to centralize the information and give users clear visibility of which applications are outdated, their current version, and the newer version available from several sources. This way, you can decide what and when to update.

To be honest, I hope it ends up being useful to others as it is for me.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I'd do my best to answer most of the comments.

Not being very technical and publishing a project that is essentially coding...
Whaaaat? <Insert minion meme here>

That screams for AI slop.

Trust issues aside: What does it do better than the bazillion other dashboards?

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.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I see.
As a poc it certainly works.

Side remark: I usually see the term "dashboard" usally being used for a sort of compilation about services individual status (like you do) but also links to the actual service to use said service.
So yours is a sort of hybrid of (I believe they are called) Yacht and homarr

[–] 1step@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

There's certainly some homarr influence to that. Specially the icon search and the drag and drop cards. I was also trying to create something that could work as a "main panel" for my applications.
