hi 👋
new to self hosting, i'm using docker for everything
i've made a docker folder, with subfolders for each container i'm running, and put the docker-compose.yml in those subdirs
i've made a script that iterates all of the folders, goes in and does
docker compose down
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
i run this with reckless abandon, daily, weekly, whenever git sends me a release notice, etc.
is this wise, will i suffer?
@limebar you will experience unexpected suffering that may not have immediate solutions, occasionally. Undoubtedly. Will this suffering offset the suffering caused by outdated/unpatched software? Probably not. Apt will be “safer” than the Docker updates in my experience. Do yourself a favor and at least eyeball release notes before running the commands. I’ve been selfhosting for… 15+ years(?!) and have had, afaict, 3-4 hacks. Almost always a PHP vuln 😭
good advice, thank you!
i do tend to look at the release notes to see if there are any in your face warnings about incompatibilities ... for docker stuff... doesnt really seem feasible for apt since there are 15 things that update nearly every day
@limebar yeah I understand, and is part of why I don’t use docker 😭 set in my ways

i'm doing
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremoive
sudo apt autoclean
with similar reckless abandon
there is always an update, it seems
will I suffer?
(I mean, life is suffering, I know this, but will I suffer needlessly?)
