@reiver @deuts No, I suppose the 5GB are mostly the cached media from my timeline. They actually expire, 7 days I think by default.

@notnorm I use #Pushover for notification, and I have this in the URL: WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL: pushover://shoutrrr:apptoken@userkey/?title=Green

I also have SKIP_TITLE set to true: WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_SKIP_TITLE: true

My #GoToSocial instance is now online. Pulled the image 0.18.0-rc2 and now everything seems back to normal:

services:
  gotosocial:
    image: superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.18.0-rc2

Here’s the Github issues that explained what happened: github.com/∞

I now got the status back up notification from #UptimeRobot:

Monitor is UP: Deuts One ( deuts.one/∞ ). It was down for 31 hours and 14 minutes.

What did we learn from this experience?

Exclude GoToSocial in #Watchtower automatic updates.
Stick to explicit version number in your compose.yml file.
Time to re-think self-hosting your own Fediverse instance.

Reddit discussion on web scraping options

Scrapes URLs given as input and saves them regardless of JS and other BS

Checked out the alternatives. I think I’ll settle with Wallabag as I already have one already running. This is especially useful in scraping Philippine Lotto Results.

What actually happened in the GoToSocial update issue

Hi all, we’ve noticed that some people who used the docker latest tag were already running 0.18.0-rc1 without realizing it. The backport release of 0.17.4 yesterday overwrote the latest tag (because tobi is a boob), so folks pulling the Docker container again may run into issue.

I had to fix the tag to 0.18.0-rc2 for my Gotosocial instance to get going.

oauth2-proxy

A reverse proxy that provides authentication with Google, Azure, OpenID Connect and many more identity providers.

Alternative to Authelia and Authentik.

Movary

Self hosted web app to track and rate your watched movies

I wish one of these could prove a better alternative to Trakt.

MediaTracker

Self hosted media tracker for movies, tv shows, video games, books and audiobooks.

Another Trakt alternative. Why expand to video games, books, and audiobooks, though?

Watcharr

Open source, self-hostable watched list for all your content (movies, tv series, anime, games) with user authentication, modern and clean UI and a very simple setup.

Now that Trakt.tv started implementing stricter limits to free users, time to look for alternatives.

Finished set up of dedicated Python container to house my various Python scripts. Now I don’t have to rely to Code Server container being up in order to execute them on schedule.
