Somehow it goes in both the cogdev and hypedev corners at the same time.

It lets you clear the bash command history, either completely or selectively. Here's the GNU docs for the history builtin: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-History-Builtins.html#index-history

(I'm not too familiar, someone else can clarify: is this available outside bash?)

What's interesting to me is the -a option, which lets you "flush" the history for the current session without ending the session. I can see that being useful!

That's a great point about Ansible. Compose automates most of the setup, but automating all of it would be amazing. I'll try it with the next service I set up, and if it goes well, I'll document it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I am familiar with tunnels in general, though I haven't seen Cloudfare's offering. I'm with the sibling comment that it's another external dependency when my goal is to self host more. But that's a tool I'll keep in mind!

I'll have to check out Caddy plugins! One I saw called the docker command to discover exposed ports, meaning it depends on Docker explicitly. I'll see what I can dig up wrt Podman. This sounds very interesting. Thanks!

As a man, I relate to this meme. The first wolf is winning :)

I don't do a great job of this, but take Immich for example. There, I specify the version in the compose.yml (technically, the version is in the .env file and substituted into the compose.yml). At that point, updating Immich is a matter of updating the version number and restarting the service.

These configuration files are all managed with git, so when I do these updates, I create a new commit. I just checked, and I have Forgejo pinned to a specific version in its compose.yml as well. But unfortunately, the other services are referencing :latest. I'm going to go back and pin them all :)

Great suggestion! Someone else also suggested Ansible, so I'll try it for the next service I set up. If it works out, I'll publish another post on my experience :)
