Hey, I have to „draw“ or make notes of my selfhosting stuff. It runs so smooth that I sometimes really forget where a service is running or how to reach the web-Interface.

For sure I have a password- and link-manager, but I would like another independent note with the structure of my selfhosting.

Usually I use Joplin. Is there a plugin that shows me a kind of a map?

Or are there other apps - maybe wikis - that do it much easier/better than that?

How do you document your selfhosting?

My stuff is all in docker-compose with a stack/service structure, so listing it is as simple as running tree, and reading the individual YAML files if I need in-depth details.

KISS ! That's the way I'm doing it. Although it kinda gets more difficult to keep track of every docker image update after you have a dozen containers.

Thinking of something that could keep track and give me a nice notification about the changes and give a link to the github page before updating the container.

Watchtower may be what you’re looking for.

Thanks :)) I did tried it out a few month ago. It works as expected, but I was looking for something with a nice webUI wich pulls the whole changelog before updating a container.

An AIO web interface that give all the changes and expected bugs or issues. I know there isn't something like that... That's why I just look out for github notifications with an RSS feed and read through all the changes/issues before doing any updates.
