Homelab Release Scout
Community⏱ Weekly digest, Saturdays
Upgrading a homelab means reading five changelogs top to bottom hoping to spot the one breaking config change before it takes your services down. This watch reads release notes for the apps you self-host and surfaces only the releases that need your attention before you pull the new image.

The prompt
I self-host Home Assistant, Immich, Jellyfin, and Paperless-ngx on a Proxmox 8 box in Manchester and upgrade on weekends. Alert me on new stable releases of any of them, but only highlight ones with breaking changes, required config migrations, or database schema upgrades. Must quote the specific breaking change from the release notes. Home Assistant monthly releases always matter since integrations break, treat those as must-review. Skip beta and release-candidate builds.
This is the whole template — the words the wizard analyzes into sources, filters, and a schedule. You review and edit every step before the watch runs.

Critical CVEs in My StackOfficial
Know within hours when a critical CVE lands in something you actually run.
I run Node.js 22, PostgreSQL 16, nginx 1.26, and Ubuntu 24.04 in production. Alert me on any new CVE affecting those exact components with a CVSS score of 8.0 or higher, or anything added to the CISA KEV list regardless of score. Every alert must name the affected version range and the patched version or a workaround. A public proof-of-concept exploit makes it urgent, flag that separately. Ignore advisories for components I don't run.

Frontier Model LaunchesOfficial
Every new frontier model with pricing and context window, the day it ships.
I build LLM products and need to know about every new model release from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta, and Mistral. Must include the API pricing per million tokens and a context window of at least 128k, otherwise it's not relevant to my work. Open-weights releases are a bonus and so are published benchmark comparisons against the previous generation. Skip minor version bumps and region-only rollouts.

React and Next.js Upgrade RadarOfficial
Breaking changes and codemods for your React stack, before you hit them in CI.
My remote product team maintains four apps on Next.js 15 and React 19 with the App Router. Alert me on every new stable major or minor release of React or Next.js that includes breaking changes, deprecations, or changed defaults. Each alert must summarize what breaks and whether an official codemod covers it. RFCs that affect the App Router or Server Components are a bonus. Ignore canary and experimental releases entirely.
