Rock and stone!

Pinchflat also works pretty good

Sorry about your bad experience. Hope things improve for ya.

Throwing my setup in: Traefik with Authentik

I use renovate myself. Via a cron job against a self hosted gitea instance.

Works for many dependency types including docker images. You can also have it pin non version tags (using digests).

Agreed. PlexAmp is done very well.

The app works pretty well but the database it has to use isn’t as mature/quickly updated as Tv/Movies. I believe it uses musicbrainz? Either way it’s not as standard as the others if feels like.

Unsure. It is a requirement of mine to be able to “ok Google, add X to the shopping list” currently I do this with Google keep. I would love to be able to do it with home assistant

I’ll likely stick with Blocky as it seems to offer similar plus more. But good efforts!

Wasn’t for me. However here are some key moments:

Follow the principles of object-oriented programming like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.
Don't overuse inheritance - the relationship between classes should make logical sense.
Keep methods short - if a method exceeds 50 lines, look for ways to abstract functionality out.
Consider existing open-source solutions before writing your own code from scratch. Leveraging others' work saves time.
Avoid hacking together quick fixes - take time to implement proper, maintainable solutions.
Plan for reusability - code with the goal of making parts reusable by yourself and others.
Prioritize readability - write code that's easy for others to understand.
Modularize your code into logical, independent pieces.
Test early and often to catch bugs quickly.
Refactor regularly to improve design as your understanding evolves.

I would be most interested in prebuilt versioned docker images and configuration via file or env vars.

I’m using Gitea. Pretty simple and a decent feature set.
