just curious, is there a benefit to running your own front end in docker? what is your experience with it containerized? are you running it through nginx? (lemmy.world)

Does it run faster, have less errors? Just curious if it is worth it to add to my Unraid server. What is your experience?

What OS and browser are you using? Firefox Android here, it gets the new version immediately after updating my docker instance. I refresh and the update pops up.

Edit: I'm using Firefox on Android.

Edit2: Firefox version 114.2.0 on Android 13

That sucks then, not sure why the behavior is different.

edit same versions as myself as well

If I uninstall and install Firefox, and then install wefwef app using my own server, then i'll be the last version. But I'd rather wait to autoupdate.

Yeah that is too much work for sure. I'd probably do the same. Last time I updated all I did after the container update is navigate to settings, then check for updates and it pops up immediately. I'll keep an eye on it for next time to double check.

Thank's a lot. I appreciate your work. I bet not a lot of people are self hosting wefwef, and every setup is kind of different, so i figured it had something to do with how I setup my docker or my reverse proxy, or even the web browser.

Just realized what I was doing wrong. I use Cloudflare Tunnels to connect to my docker container, the Cloudflare cache was messing with the update time.

I updated to 0.14.0 then purged cache and it inmediately got the update on my phone.

Sweet, glad you got it figured out. How is your experience with Cloudflare Tunnels? I've tried to get it setup in the past and only ran into issues so punted on it.

[–] Feliberto@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was a gamechanger for me, with Cloudflare Tunnels I don't have to open any ports in my router. I followed Ibracorp's guide, it was a bit tricky but worths it.

I'm not sure if you can use CF Tunnels for things other than http protocol.

I guess I'll be trying it again then soon.
