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 a very long time it was not only possible for experts. like, I would say the last 10-15 years, maybe even more. It’s very harmful that people can now create things they don’t even know how to check what it does, and they just assume this “sentient thing” actually produced what you wanted with no major flaws. thing is, you (or anyone else vibecoding things) won’t be able to determine what is good or bad without taking the time and learning the building blocks, learning how they work and how they are supposed to be used.

    also your comments look like AI generated comments, fake enthusiasm and all the rest. it does not inspire much confidence

      Geez, it’s really hard to have normal conversation nowadays on the internet. There’s this constant skepticism of AI comments, and I get it. Most of the time I just feel like I’m talking to bots. However, I’m surprised that people really take their time to give their opinions here and they seem to be legit. Weirdly enough, I’m quite a positive and enthusiastic person… or at least I’m trying to practice that. There’s been too much negativity around me lately, but who cares about what happens in my life, right haha? Don’t need to explain myself to any one, but just felt like I needed to do.

        @1step @selfhosted Frustrating to be treated as a non-human being. People thinking you are a machine commenting. Well, despite being 100% human, it’s almost 26 years I struggle with this (verify you’re a human) due to visual captcha’s. for us visually and/or auditory impaired, senses-based anti-bots (audio and pics) are an irreversible obstacle. And my strong scare is that interactive platforms like social networks, Lemmy included, will soon add some senses-based verifications to avoid bots.
        Damn the bots!

          I hate bots, for real… I kind of miss the old days of internet where we could jump in a forum or any community to talk and connect with people. But I kind of get the point of building mechanisms to reduce the “bots infestation”. Things are definitely more complex to visually and/or auditory impaired people. But at least, Lemmy isn’t as annoying as Reddit and people sound genuine.
