I'm selfhosting several services, mostly based on docker containers. Many of these are managed on Github and publish releases there. What annoys me is that I regularly miss updates.

I'm also quite active on Mastodon so I thought it would be handy to have a bot automatically scanning for new github releases and posting a new toot for every new release.

The bot can be configured to scan multiple different github repositories and publish to different mastodon accounts.

I have set up accounts for:

https://mastodon.social/@navidrome_releases
https://mastodon.social/@vaultwarden_releases
https://mastodon.social/@dockerpihole_releases
https://mastodon.social/@tempo_releases
https://mastodon.social/@unifidocker_releases

You can use the notification feature of Mastodon to get a notification, whenever a new post is published. Just follow an account and hit the little bell icon on its profile page.

Here's the code, if someone is interested in that:

Is this something that you people find useful? Which other services would you like to see covered in that way?

You can docker compose up -d <service> to (re)create only one service from your Dockerfile

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
