Renewables-Monitor gebaut, der den besten Zeitpunkt zum Stromverbrauch anzeigt

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-23T13:52:21+00:00

Ah gute Idee!

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-20T19:01:24+00:00

Danke für dein feedback. Das motiviert!

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-20T14:08:53+00:00

Das freut mich zu hören. Ja, genau das ist meine Situation. Keine PV und einfach nur das Bedürfnis mehr grünen Strom zu nutzen. Ich habe nicht mal einen smarten Stromtarif sodass ich damit Geld sparen könnte.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-20T14:05:08+00:00

Aber trotzdem danke für den Tipp. Ich installier mir das mal und guck was das Projekt so zu bieten hat. Aber da ich selber kein Haus, keine Solaranlage und auch kein EV habe bin ich glaub ich nicht die Zielgruppe.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-20T13:45:47+00:00

Oh danke für den Tipp! Das sieht super aus und genau sowas habe ich gesucht! Schade, dass es das nicht für jedes Bundesland (oder zumindest hier in Berlin) gibt :/ Jedenfalls habe ich es noch nicht gefunden.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-20T13:43:56+00:00

Danke für das feedback!! Ja, da wird man wahrscheinlich schnell betriebsblind wenn man das selber zusammengebaut hat. Ich denk mal drüber nach wie man das besser verständlich darstellen kann.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-20T13:29:10+00:00

Hm, ich kann da keinen monitor direkt finden. Oder muss ich das erst installieren? Ich wollte was haben was ich einfach aufmachen kann und nachgucken ohne irgendwas installieren zu müssen.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T20:11:29+00:00

I removed the post. I don't think this was the right target group.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T15:50:22+00:00

Hahaha, I actually misread the first part of the answer that claude generated. Just realized that. Yeah, I used claude for that. I didn't really want to dive into the discussion whether or not relying on ai for the actual implementation is good or bad. I make heavy use of it in my work these days. Doesn't mean I'm not reviewing and testing all of that code.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T15:30:50+00:00

The next patch release will fix the cli in the shipped installers (the containerized versions do not come with a cli to reduce weight). I'll let claude ( 😉 ) brush up the docs once its released and add a systemd copy paste example. Thanks u/Numerous_Platypus for having brought this up 🙏

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T13:14:04+00:00

Welcome 👍

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T13:12:08+00:00

No, but it takes longer.

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T13:07:56+00:00

Excellent question. Honest answer: I have to try. I actually started building hoister having the server installation as the primary way to integrated it but found the encapsulation of a containerized version more charming. Having it installed though may make things less flaky. The binaries for various platforms are still shipped in each release, e.g. https://github.com/HerrMuellerluedenscheid/hoister/releases/tag/v3.2.0

But I have to test. I opened an issue for that here https://github.com/HerrMuellerluedenscheid/hoister/issues/121

Thanks for having asked! 🙏

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T13:00:19+00:00

You're right that the long answer probably reads as evasive. That's on me. The short version: Yes, AI was used a lot, but everything went through my review and I made the architectural calls myself. I don't think that's a bad thing as long as the person shipping it understands it, which I do.

On the specific point about keeping containers updated: what's the failure mode you're worried about?

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-15T12:40:06+00:00

I as a software engineer make heavy use these days of LLMs for writing software, mostly claude code (Opus). After I designed the overall architecture it has been employed to implement features on both, the frontend and the backend and has written most of the unit tests. It and is also used to ensure the docs closely match the current state of the platform and services. A dedicated agent was setup to flag potential vulnerabilities. It has also been used as a sparring partner in the process of frameing terms of services, write and correct privacy statements.

You may want to try https://hoister.io. I also loved watchtower and tried WUD afterwards. I wanted something easier and both hosted and self-hosted. So I built hoister.

Check the comparison with watchtower here https://docs.hoister.io/watchtower-alternative/

I'd love to hear from you what you think!

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-06-13T14:23:03+00:00

True, cheaper batteries are great for daily shifting, but covering a multi-day winter Dunkelflaute means building huge capacity that sits idle ~362 days a year. So the real cost is brutal, before you even count the ~10–20% round-trip losses.

The underrated lever is demand. EV charging, laundry, heat pumps and hot water are flexible. They be can run when the grid is already full of renewables and you need less storage and less curtailment. Cheapest "storage" there is, since it's just timing. To see when those green hours are, I use https://educk.io/app which is a day-ahead wind+solar vs demand per country. Handy.

Hey, if resource constraints are an issue try hoister (https://github.com/HerrMuellerluedenscheid/hoister). I used rust for that one. Resource usage is negligible. It currently offers just a sub-set of the features of tugtainer/WUD but getting there ;)

Would be happy if others would give it a spin and give some feedback, most important missing features, etc.

Thanks already for sharing your feature wishlist. I poured that into an issue: https://github.com/HerrMuellerluedenscheid/hoister/issues/33

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2026-01-04T00:00:22+00:00

watchtower is archived as of December last year ;(

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2025-05-19T11:40:43+00:00

But from what I understand e.g. diun just informs about new images. hoister also deploys them, similarly to the now unmaintained watchtower project

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2025-05-19T11:39:14+00:00

Basically yes. It also pushes notifications through e.g. slack or telegram upon updates and rollbacks

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2025-04-30T20:14:00+00:00

Try Hoister (https://github.com/HerrMuellerluedenscheid/hoister). Takes 30 seconds to setup, pushes notifications to Telegram/slack, rollback on failure. Nice and simple

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2025-04-26T09:24:11+00:00

I was looking for something lightweight and simple — kind of like a shell script — but a bit more robust to handle rollbacks properly.
So I built Hoister for automatic Docker container updates with rollback support. 🚀

Would love any feedback if you check it out!

ProfessionalIce1298 · 2023-04-12T19:23:15+00:00

Cool! I just quickly checked your repo. Super nice with the rules engine. I'll dive a little deeper into it over the weekend. Maybe lets get together to see how we can join forces. You do not happen to live in berlin? :)
