I run wefwef in my own unraid server and I'm using NginxProxyManager. It works great but I really see no benefit, it's just for fun.
On the other hand, as a downside, whenever you update your docker container because wefwef got a new release, it takes hours for your phone installed app to realise there's an update and update itself.
If I use wefwef.mysite.com I'll see the lastest version. if i use the installed app I'm still on 0.12.1 eve tho I updated the container hours ago.
What OS and browser are you using? Firefox Android here, it gets the new version immediately after updating my docker instance. I refresh and the update pops up.
Edit: I'm using Firefox on Android.
Edit2: Firefox version 114.2.0 on Android 13
That sucks then, not sure why the behavior is different.
edit same versions as myself as well
If I uninstall and install Firefox, and then install wefwef app using my own server, then i'll be the last version. But I'd rather wait to autoupdate.
Yeah that is too much work for sure. I'd probably do the same. Last time I updated all I did after the container update is navigate to settings, then check for updates and it pops up immediately. I'll keep an eye on it for next time to double check.
Thank's a lot. I appreciate your work. I bet not a lot of people are self hosting wefwef, and every setup is kind of different, so i figured it had something to do with how I setup my docker or my reverse proxy, or even the web browser.
Just realized what I was doing wrong. I use Cloudflare Tunnels to connect to my docker container, the Cloudflare cache was messing with the update time.
I updated to 0.14.0 then purged cache and it inmediately got the update on my phone.
Sweet, glad you got it figured out. How is your experience with Cloudflare Tunnels? I've tried to get it setup in the past and only ran into issues so punted on it.
It was a gamechanger for me, with Cloudflare Tunnels I don't have to open any ports in my router. I followed Ibracorp's guide, it was a bit tricky but worths it.
I'm not sure if you can use CF Tunnels for things other than http protocol.
I guess I'll be trying it again then soon.
Got it, thanks for the heads up… so are you able to link the config folder in options? (Just pulled it on Unraid to check out the setup and don’t see a /config) And are there any good options to mess with (say change pwa icon or anything?)
I just fixed the update issue I was having, it was Cloudflare cache that was messing with the update times.
I'm running a vanilla instalation and I'm using this link as docker icon, I had to manually configure it on unraid.
