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?

I run wefwef in my own unraid server and I'm using NginxProxyManager. It works great but I really see no benefit, it's just for fun.

On the other hand, as a downside, whenever you update your docker container because wefwef got a new release, it takes hours for your phone installed app to realise there's an update and update itself.

If I use wefwef.mysite.com I'll see the lastest version. if i use the installed app I'm still on 0.12.1 eve tho I updated the container hours ago.

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.

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.
