I love Joplin so much. I set up the selfhosted Joplin Notes at some point, and I have never, not even one time, had to touch it. It updates itself, it doesn't crash, it doesn't take up enormous amounts of system resources for no reason, and all the apps just work with it on my Windows, Mac, and IOS computers. I've even got other users on it, and it works just fine. And the apps are also good. Offline? No problem! You can still look at the last version of your stuff. Need to publish a quick, well-formatted single page to the web? Done with a snap!

@fastfinge Joplin notes, updating itself? Is that different from Joplin Server? Because we do have to update that.

@nick Nope. You don't have to update it if you've got it running in docker. Watchtower or whatever update process you use will handle it.

@fastfinge Ah, gotcha. ...Honestly, we're pretty awful with Docker and I don't think @quinn or I even knew what Watchtower was. Docker's one of those things we were dragged into kicking and screaming.

@nick @quinn You could also run cosmos-cloud.io. It'll run and update your dockers for you, configure your reverse proxies, manage your SSL certs, etc. But the nice thing is it uses the standard methods to do all of those things, so unlike other server management GUIs, you can do stuff via the command line or via cosmos-cloud and it doesn't matter.

@nick @fastfinge @quinn I've been working with Docker and related tools for years; I even started playing with Docker before it reached 1.0. And this thread might be only the second time I've heard of Watchtower.

@matt @nick @quinn to be fair, it's not something you should do in an enterprise environment. In general, updates for things that aren't your hobby need to be deployed to staging, tested, and only then pushed to production. Watchtower just does an in-place update of the containers. But that's fine, and probably even better, for hobby projects.
