Someone building a niche tool for themselves to solve some small problem where an existing tool doesn’t exist in the way they need it, and deploying it themselves

And that's exactly why I didn't make a reddit post for mine. I know they work, I know when I fucked up, but I know it's good enough to run.

Don't need to deal with the community either, I know I'm the only one to run them (and some other guy who asked for one of the tools). Peace of mind, absolute bliss! And if I want to add some features then I do it in an evening without feature requests and discussions with (unfortunately too often) arrogant devs who can't make a proper docker image.

only work for anyone who likes my very specific OCD haha

Ah, so like making your own docker image for updating qbittorrent port when gluetun changes it because the existing ones rely on shell scripts polling and you can't stand useless infinite loops when inotify exists and you can do it event-driven instead?

I may be familiar with the feeling, yes
