Gotchas and maintenance

Gotchas

Some images use the latest tag or no tag. Images without a pinned version: yamtrack: ghcr.io/fuzzygrim/yamtrack (no tag). A later pull can get a different version. (github.com/FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack/blob/2d82621/docker-compose.yml, checked 2026-10-22)
The compose file publishes host ports. Host ports: 8000 (yamtrack). A port without a host address listens on all host network interfaces. (github.com/FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack/blob/2d82621/docker-compose.yml, checked 2026-10-22)
The compose file mounts host folders. Host paths mounted into containers: ./db at /yamtrack/db (yamtrack). (github.com/FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack/blob/2d82621/docker-compose.yml, checked 2026-10-22)
