finally setup up Docker Watchtower Lifecycle hooks to automate running Django migrate and collectstatics on new container reloading #djangonews

🚀 deployed a new Watchtower version of my mostly automated #servers farm. I updated one project to test that post-update hooks are running

Automate container updates using Watchtower #formkite

Moved Watchdog and all dependencies to Dokku running on a single VPS with all my other projects! Forgot to update the firewall settings though, had to fix that quickly 😅 #watchdog

✅ fixed docker config and tests

fixed a bug in my devd + modd + django setup that was keeping files from reloading #mylife

🔨 Fixed a django-click error which was stalling out my automated deployments #conf

worked on some Django Docker files overnight, fixed some build issues, and ported everything to just.

more django docker updates

fixed a nagging Elixir app deployment bug

fixes to wp deployment

See Watchdog for X running in production! Manually provisioned an EC2 instance and set up docker compose for the chromium container, easier than fighting with Kamal under a time crunch #watchdog !private

Fix networking because I noticed that Watchdog failed to start when my VPS restarted. I was using a private IP address for a dependency which changed when the host (and therefore docker) restarted. Now I use hostnames and put everything on the same private docker network #watchdog !private

Fixed an issue with Watchdog for Reddit where sometimes the bot would crash in the event that Reddit returned a 5xx error. For now just restarting after 5 seconds b/c it's not clear if restarting immediately will hammer the reddit API too much in the event of an outage #watchdog

worked on a docker-django starter OSS project #mylife

Launch Watchdog for Discord: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… and www.linkedin.com/posts/bakatz… #watchdog

Get Watchdog fully working for Discord and post about it on X: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog !private

- clean up the initial local install bugs for greendeploy-starters/dockerized-django ✅ #greendeploy

🐳 fixed a bug in my ci pipeline #conf

🤖 refactored my docker cron setup which is now updated via GitHub Actions #mylife
