Never had problems with Hetzner 🤔

Glad you found a good VPS 👍

IONOS or Netcup or Hetzner

All of them are from germany, but provide various server locations

I use Netcup for cheap and powerful VPS (the ARM servers are awesome) and Hetzner for a dedicated server.

I rent the ARM VPS in Nürnberg, cheap and high performance. I don't have any issues. Last time I had issues was with Contabo VPS. My main server is a dedicated one at Hetzner. Can recommend this one too.

A few people I know are using IONOS or Netcup for webhosting. They offer a lot more than just webhosting, if anyone needs a VPS, go for Netcup.

Maybe you can checkout European alternatives too to find what you are looking for 😊

Not directly, only if features get added or the API changes. The API will change woth v1.0 afaik

I read something about it in the blog entry

It does not need an update for every Lemmy version, but in the last ones were new features for admins and mods. Apps need to support them. It is good to hear, he is developing on a new version, I like Boost for Lemmy. It was just a long time since the last update.

As you said, it is hard to keep timelines if you are a single dev. But an update every quarter would be nice.

I am looking at the dates when installing an app. I would not install an app last updated a year ago. They seem dropped to me

There is enough to update, seems like it when I scroll through the Boost community (bugfixes, new features)... Last update mentioned Lemmy 0.19.4, now we have 0.19.10. With v1.0 there will be new features like OIDC.

Software is never "done"

Boost has one more point to update regularly: he earns money with it. If you don't pay for it, you get ads. That's okay, but by paying for an app I want regular updates. I bought Boost to support the development

I like regular updated software. Don't know if it is still an active project

Currently I use Boost for Lemmy, I even bought it to support it. Sadly there was no update since last july 😐

Edit: typo

No, because MONITOR_ONLY is for all

It is very easy. Here is my compose:

services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    container_name: watchtower
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    command: --interval 10800
    logging:
      driver: local
    environment:
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL: gotify://
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME: Fancy name
          WATCHTOWER_MONITOR_ONLY: true
          WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_HEAD_FAILURE: never

Every 3 hours it will check for updates, send a message via Gotify and pull the new images. It will not restart the containers with the new images.
