Keeping up to date with new software releases

When self-hosting several applications, you may want to keep them up to date and stay informed about new features.

For example, I host at least 20 applications/containers on my home server. Some of them I always want to keep on the latest stable version and check their changelogs, so I can know if there is new features, fixes for bugs I was having, etc. Doing this manually by visiting each GitHub repository is a pain.

The way I figured to do it is through RSS. And yes, RSS might be old, but it’s still really useful.

GitHub provides a RSS feed for the releases page, so I can always see their latest releases. For example, if I want want an RSS feed for Jellyfin, I would just add this to my RSS client:

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/releases.atom

As of now, I have a folder in my RSS client containing the feeds of the applications I would like to keep track, like this:

feeds
