Hi there! I’d like to share my project with you all.

What is this? Vigil is a lightweight, self-hosted dashboard that watches your Docker images and tells you when updates are available. It’s a ready-to-run Docker setup with a simple install scripts. I know most people don’t like scripts, but since I’m a tech noob I find it pretty useful. For all the pros out there, you can check the script by yourself. This is my first “real world” project so it might not be as polished as other apps out there. It’s a hobby that I started cultivating a few months ago and I’m pretty excited with the results. However, it’d only mean something significant, if other people use it and give their own opinions about it.

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.

Edited because the link wasn’t showing up and giving more details about the project. https://github.com/kumucode/vigil.git

    For me, it’s all about finding the right balance. I don’t want to have to manually update for every little bug fix version bump. Most software I find that major.minor version tags, if they exist, are a good compromise with daily auto updates unless it’s a really fast releasing software where just a major version makes sense. I usually just track releases on GitHub or wherever the source is hosted and bump as I need. That takes care of probably 90-95% of the containers I run.
