Doesn’t work Invalid parameter --. I have zero clue where it gets the --. But the issue would be new devices or other ports. I did this manually once, needed to unplug my PC and needed to do this once again. At least there seems to be an option doing this in bulk but it’s not optimal.

You can configure it. Whats worse, my current PC actually allows every device to wake up my PC. My old PC didn’t allowed it and only allowed the power button and WoL. You can turn it off for each device (there is no bulk option, thanks MS), but when you plug in a new device… Recently I forgot to unplug my mouse from charging and my PC started right away.

I have no problem that there is this option. Might be handy in the right situation. I have a problem that you can’t configure it easily. But I guess hibernation is something that Devs forget these days. I have a few programs that don’t play along nicely.

Here people even “steal” books from public bookcases and sell them.

For people who aren’t familiar, let me explain: These public bookcases are a weatherproof shelf, old phone booth or something in the streets. The concept is you can take any book and leave any book. There are no written rules and you can keep a book if you like or just read it and put it back. In recent years people started to scan the barcodes and checked what books they can sell. There is a debate going on if people should mark these books or not, so they can’t be sold.

To be more specific: Postgresql requires manual steps with major versions. Tutorials I found require you to dump the database in the old version first, then update and then import. You could use a tagged version of postgresql and just auto update there but the main container might require a newer version. I saw containers who try this but none looked production ready.

Auto updates can cause problems. Some recommend it, some tell you to not do it. My standpoint is, when a container can’t work with auto updates, they suck. Sure there are containers who require some additional attention after an update, like gitea with some config changes but I use it in an environment where it can be offline of some time.

If a container uses Postgresql, you can’t auto update. So far I didn’t found a well maintained container, that can do this. You also should keep an eye on your containers. As I mentioned, Gitea had some config changes, breaking the default theme (nothing major). They even screwed up their tags and I had 3 times an RC in a tag where no RC should get published. With Jellyfin I was on a tag that didn’t got any updates anymore and I needed to use a different one.

Auto update. Works like a charm, except PostgreSQL. For me it’s good enough and even though works with containers, where they don’t recommend it. I do have backups and for my private time, I don’t get paid, so it should be as maintenance as possible from my side.

I do check from time to time if something is broken and I noticed a container where they removed a version tag, I was using. The “biggest” thing that was broken, was my gitea server where they changed the config for the default Theme.

Also that’s why I hate PostgreSQL. It requires manual labor for updating. Had a recipe Docker and they cut support for previous major version quickly. Not good. That stuff could break, ist an option with every update. This is why backups exist. As a single user, it’s not a problem. For a big system, I wouldn’t do auto updates, so I can check if everything works.
