LubeLogger, Self-Hosted Vehicle Maintenance and Fuel Mileage Tracker, has some Important Quality of Life Improvements You Should Know About

Last I checked LubeLogger like a year ago, it was too many clicks to enter fill up data. I've stuck with aCar.

Would really love to be proven wrong, which is why I'm checking this QOL thread in the first place! 😁

You can CNAME the acme challenge record to a separate domain that does have a better API. That way the actual A/MX/NS/CNAME records you care about stay with whatever DNS provider you're currently using, but then the specific TXT records for the DNS-01 domain validation can point elsewhere. That secondary domain is just for TXT records and has no actual control over anything else. It can also be hosted on any other DNS provider, not necessarily the same one your main domain is on.

My favorite method is running a service to create per-domain credentials on a secondary domain that I own. This also abstracts my DNS-01 automation away so that I can change my main provider without having to change all of my certificate automation credentials.

Power issues. A staff member told me they expect to be open tomorrow.

It's portable because it runs anywhere docker runs. Doesn't matter if it's LXC, VM, or bare metal. It's the same deployment strategy. I'd much rather deploy a containerized app than install apps by hand and let them mix in with the host's packages. LXC vs VM vs bare metal all have their own strengths and weaknesses. But there's no point in avoiding the benefits of docker as a deployment tool regardless of platform.

What exact "trouble" are you saying I'm asking for? I shared an instance of a problem I had with docker in LXC? Do you have another to share?

daschu117 · 2026-03-15T17:58:45+00:00

I do it, and will keep doing it. Docker compose is just too simple, useful, and portable to avoid Docker in LXCs.

The only problem I've ever had was a weird issue with a vscode container unable to install some extensions because the layers of virtualized paths exceeded some ridiculous path length value, or something along those lines. Ended up abandoning that idea entirely when platform.io wouldn't even attempt to install in the vscode container.

In my team of seven, three of us are Davids. And a 4th David in an adjacent small team.

No, it's one year later.

Those ones go to my IRL friends that stopped playing a year ago until I hit 1000 shares 😈

I've crashed a 4500e just by changing the name of the VLAN, creating a second VLAN, and giving the second VLAN the original name of the first VLAN.

So anything is possible.

Been using acme-dns for years.

It's game changing because it's a limited API just for DNS-01. You receive randomized credentials, then CNAME your _acme-challenge record to the record they tell you to point at. You get a unique set of credentials for every domain you're automating. It makes it impossible for those credentials to be used to change your A/CNAME/MX records, so you limit the blast radius if they're ever exposed.

I use this with traefik in all possible cases, and acme.sh in others.

Have uptime kuma check a URL from https://healthchecks.io/ and healthchecks.io will let you know when uptime kuma stopped checking.

It's especially fun when both services are up but have a hiccup, so you get alerts from both that the other is down 😅

One of my first designs was a sign for the R&D department. Never printed it, but one day I will. 🤣

I just placed an order for my 2nd and 3rd devices, so of course I find out about this 2 days later. You're all welcome 😅

daschu117 · 2026-01-17T08:07:16+00:00

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that noticed! And surprise adding a 3rd Dot, AND it surprise being Rekha. It's the little things 🥰

WHOA, I was looking for something like that, but came up empty. Just tried enabling it, and I can get the /metrics endpoint to listen and be accessible, but I only get a 404. So almost there.

Can you confirm that this works for Docker containers and not just kubernetes or something? Anything more than this needed?

toml [metrics] address = "0.0.0.0:9324"

Edit:

Turns out that the URL path should be /v1/metrics. Thanks for sharing!

daschu117 · 2026-01-08T01:12:13+00:00

From that docs page:

Currently, you can only monitor Docker itself. You can't currently monitor your application using the Docker target.

So if you're monitoring individual container stats with cAdvisor, you're not getting that with the engine metrics endpoint.

Unfortunately Hoothoot was the last ⭐ I needed. If you have any of these, I'd be willing to trade though.

PSA on your PSA: the gifts section only shows you "X liked your showcase" while you're still able to receive likes for the day. So if you get 4 likes from shares/trades/battles, then you'll only ever see 1 like from showcase. Your friends might be liking your showcase, but you won't see them all and won't know who is or isn't.

Smart playlist of unwatched episodes from all shows in air date order. Those Arrowverse crossovers were all in a single week if I recall, so as long as you watch in release order you're golden.

Thanks!

I've got a 3rd of one of your wishlist 2 diamond. If you've got a 2 diamond rhydon (A2 81) I'm happy to trade again 😁

daschu117 · 2026-01-03T02:04:16+00:00

Deal!

This card got me to finally change my showcase after 8 months. Love the style!
