  • I am very happy to hear that. Sadly I don't know what to do about the images not loading. I am just using the free tier of pico.sh, so I imagine that corners have been cut for pathological consumers like me. If you ever need a specific image or something doesn't make sense, feel free to DM!

  • Its covered in the introduction what's expected of the reader and server setup, and towards the end of the intro I go over the unattended-upgrades setup.

  • Yeah a little xD but FWIW this article series is based on what I personally run (and have set up for several friends) and its been doing pretty well for at least a year.

    But I have backups which can be used to recover from the issues with breaking updates.

  • Yeah I agree with the warnings. One of the things I'm trying to ensure I get across accurately (which will be discussed later in the series) is how to do monitoring. Making sure backups are functioning properly would need to be a part of that.

  • I don't disagree with any of that, I'm merely making a different value judgement - namely that a breach that could've been prevented by automatic updates is worse than an outage caused by the same.

    I will however make this choice more explicit in the articles and outline the risks.

  • Hmmmm that's a good point. I'll try to work. that in P: cause Tailscale can cause issues if you're already doing Wireguard or something.

  • Sweet! Thank you! I'll test it out and update the blog posts to reflect that

  • Naturally, the same day that I publish this, I discover that Watchtower is semi-abandoned, so I'm gonna have to look into alternatives to that...

  • That's reasonable, however, my personal bias is towards security and I feel like if I don't push people towards automated updates, they will leave vulnerable, un-updated containers exposed to the web. I think a better approach would be to push for backups with versioning. I forgot to add that I am planning a "backups with Syncthing" article as well, I will take this into consideration, add it to the article, and use it as a way to demonstrate recovery in the event of such an issue.
