Ah I see. I’ve gotten into some back and forth with the maintainer of Caddy about these build inconsistencies and lack of versioning, and he responded by locking issues on me… twice.

After that communication, I resigned to just keep things as they are because upstream is not willing to make the experience better for use cases like these.

He is impossible to work with, but Caddy is just really good :/

What issue did you have? If I can handle it for the user automatically, I can add a best effort attempt to avoid it.

Hi!

The project is still active! I just haven’t needed to develop any updates because it’s currently stable, and the upstream Docker compose template, which is a reference for my project, hasn’t changed in 9 months:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/docker-compose.yml

Whenever Lemmy releases a new Docker container, it will just pull the latest one automatically. This will continue to be compatible indefinitely until the compose deployment (linked above) has any breaking changes added to it that I need to incorporate.

Thank you for the shout out :)

its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need

Do you think professional independent developers shouldn’t be paid for their work? Do you think this kind of development is effortless?

I don’t understand why people keep parroting this. The app is free. It’s a professionally developed app, where the quality tradeoff is either ads (which can be blocked) or your choice of ad removal payments.

This isn’t some company trying to exploit the community here, this is a full time app developer who just had his livelihood completely cut off. People begged him to make a version for Lemmy, and he did. He deserves to be paid for the hours and work he put in to make it happen. You can’t make an app if you can’t buy food or pay rent.

And if you don’t like that, then don’t use it. He’s never pressured users into paying, and he’s never suggested everyone on Lemmy should just send him money. He isn’t even spamming posts advertising the app, enthusiastic users are.

Why is everyone so upset?
