I like to do things just off the top of the hour, since top of the hour is when many maintenance crons run. If you’re running a modern cron daemon, you can rewrite that as:

3 1-23/6 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1

https://crontab.guru/#3_1/6_*_*_*

Doesn’t systemd have the ability to do this as well with unix sockets?

I don’t recommend using the shell on routers for day-to-day management. Instead, consider using a network configuration management system like rconfig. I’ve used RANCID in the past, but I suspect something more modern like rconfig will be useful to you.

I subscribe to !newcommunities@lemmy.world which helps. Other than that I look for mentions of other communities in comments, similar to how I used to on reddit.

The latest version on GitHub works in developer edition. I’ll look in to getting it approved tomorrow.

I’m reachable here, @matrix.org, @gmail.com, and on libera.chat

I’d love to combine efforts to make these work for as many people as possible in the fediverse.

Oh, you have to enable developer mode on the extensions page to “Load unpacked”

Until it’s approved in the web store, you have to:

1. Download the extension files from github.
2. Open chrome://extensions/
3. Click “Load unpacked”
4. Navigate to the folder that contains “manifest.json”
5. Click “Select”
6. Open the extension options to set your home instance (default is lemmy.world)

Yeah, I initially wanted to take you directly to the community on your instance but currently you get a very basic 404 message like that. I went with the search option since it should show your instance’s UI regardless. If a future Lemmy release loads the yet-to-be-federated communities from url correctly, I’ll change this extension to do that.
