Yeah, and even if you don’t like the way they’ve done Docker there’s nothing stopping you from just doing it directly or using another UI type tool. I’m playing with Dockhand right now and considering letting it handle all my compose files going forward.

This doesn’t answer the question you asked, but take a look at OpenMediaVault. It’s Debian underneath but already has pretty much everything you would need to do built in.

Arr and Sab

With write-back you’d only lose what was in cache right? Not the entire array?

Take a look at https://www.localscore.ai/. It helped me understand just what the difference in experience will be like.

Isn’t that just effectively un-minified? It’s just the client side code in the first place?

I just started using them and I like it. It’s a good balance of easy and secure for me. I just added the container to my stack and then use their UI to point a subdomain at the internal port. Security can go pretty extreme if you set up their whole zero trust thing.

An alternative similar option is Pangolin. I’ve seen a lot of people like it to avoid Cloudflare, but I haven’t used it myself. There still has to be an endpoint running it, so you’ll need an external VPS, which then adds a cost to the equation but at least you control it.

Right? On one hand I feel personally attacked, but on the other hand “oh thank god it’s not just me”.

But next year I swear I’ll have the time and energy to actually build all those cool ideas behind the domains! I hope….

How very dare you.

I’m just presenting that as a “is this what you mean”. If it is, then perhaps a FOSS or self hostable version fists or the community might be interested in one existing.

It’s not self hostable, but you mean something like this? https://calendarbudget.com/

I played a bit with the basic concept of identifying and categorizing merchants by importing a transaction csv into google sheets and writing a custom function that called the OpenAI API, basically just passing the raw merchant string along with “What category of business is this?”. It did well, the next step would have been to add a step that compared to a predefined list of possible categories. I didn’t compare any models or other platforms though. This was last year so I might play with it again.

I found this which is overkill for personal use but does a good job of laying out this sort of application: https://midday.ai/updates/automatic-reconciliation-engine/

“Instead of just comparing text strings, we use 768-dimensional vector embeddings to capture the semantic meaning of transactions and receipts.

// Generate embeddings for transaction data
const transactionText = prepareTransactionText({
  name: transaction.name,
  counterpartyName: transaction.counterpartyName,
  merchantName: transaction.merchantName,
  description: transaction.description
});

const embedding = await generateEmbeddings([transactionText]);

These embeddings allow our system to understand that “AMZN MKTP” and “Amazon Marketplace Purchase” refer to the same thing, even though the text strings are completely different. The system learns patterns like:

• “SQ *COFFEE SHOP” → “Square Coffee Shop Receipt”
• “PAYPAL *DIGITALOCEAN” → “DigitalOcean Invoice via PayPal”
• “APL*APPLE.COM” → “Apple App Store Purchase””

You’re missing the point, that would require sitting down and manually doing that for every conceivable payee. Walmart is just an example. The value of any sort of “intelligent” component would be for this to happen automatically and seamlessly for the user. Hell, the AI layer could just be “write regex for al the possible similar payees across these documents”.

Yep, that’s exactly the sort of thing I’m thinking about here. And it doesn’t even need to be full on chat style LLM, just some decent NLP that can recognize WALMART, WAL-MART, or WMART are all the same thing and label it.

But for some reason this question brings out all the assumption people who want to give financial advice or talk about the AI image the saw last year with 6 fingers.

Yeah, The Void and Night were the two I was referring to. I’ve been rewatching with my kids and when we got to Night I thought “I really misremembered that episode”, then we just hit The Void and I realized I had them combined in my memory.

Omg that’s even better

Same. This shot had us doubled over for some reason I can’t explain, watched it like a dozen times and had to gif it.
