I plan to set one up with a little La Crosse weather station my parents gave me. Turns out it seems well supported and gives me accurate indoor and outdoor temperature as well as wind speed and other stuff like storm predictions. Gonna link my heat pump to it and have my NTFY ping me when I should start the fireplace instead.

We get a lot of small microclimates where I live so its more reliable than the forecast.

Any plans to support FreeBSD in the future? Or mainly focusing on a docker solution?

Fuck yeah! This slaps. Brb while I get my headphones to listen to it again.

We should celebrate these kinds of changes. Like its great that they’ve already achieved so much and not just that, but left behind a group of folks just as committed in the future of the project.

I always feel that posterity of your work beyond your own contribution is the real achievement and a sign of humility.

Oh, I’ve been there! lol Yeah, you sometimes don’t expect to have to update an entire stack, not just one thing. Possible the companion app image was just released later and it wasn’t on you either. :P

But yeah, give the cron job a try. I’d be curious to try it out myself! In theory your webinstance shouldn’t cut out unless you click on something the exact moment the container is resetting.

What kind of issues have you had? How did you resolve them?

I haven’t used this tool specifically, but anything involving Youtube is always going to be an uphill battle. In the instance of a video downloader like Channeltube, you frequently need to feed it fresh cookies to make sure Youtube doesn’t flag it as a bot. I assume this is a similar situation.

The requirements also list ‘‘2gb if you restart frequently’’ so there might be a memory leak issue, or the way it’s setup means the RAM usage will increase in perpetuity.

I would just script a task to restart the docker container every hour. Shouldn’t be too much a hassle, you’re unlikely to ever notice since it shouldn’t take more than a few seconds. I would track its RAM usage over a few days too. See if there’s something fishy happening. Something like Beszel will let you track your docker socket, so usage per container. Preferably left on read only imo.
