Hi there! I’d like to share my project with you all.
What is this? Vigil is a lightweight, self-hosted dashboard that watches your Docker images and tells you when updates are available. It’s a ready-to-run Docker setup with a simple install scripts. I know most people don’t like scripts, but since I’m a tech noob I find it pretty useful. For all the pros out there, you can check the script by yourself. This is my first “real world” project so it might not be as polished as other apps out there. It’s a hobby that I started cultivating a few months ago and I’m pretty excited with the results. However, it’d only mean something significant, if other people use it and give their own opinions about it.
If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I’d do my best to answer most of the comments.

Cool project. Building something that exactly fits a problem you have is one of the most liberating parts of programming!
I wouldn’t worry too much about the people mad about you using AI. It’s a powerful tool and I would be silly to not make use of it. I guarantee that a everyone using the internet today has had their packets flow through some piece of “vibe code”.
One of my favorite features is having the AI tool explain back what every part of the code does. I helps you build understanding of both the code itself and is an excellent place to find bugs!
Keep it up
That’s actually a good idea. I was thinking about getting the features “working” as intended. I’ll give it a try to the “explain back” method and see how it goes. Thanks
I would always recommend getting the bare minimum working great before adding extra features. If you get too far into features, making foundational changes get significantly harder.
