Breaking changes front and center: Immich, n8n, Jellyfin
Day 26. Reader feedback this week keeps circling the same theme: knowing about a breaking database migration or plugin incompatibility before running an update. The 'is it safe to update' badge earns its keep most on the pages where a rushed upgrade has the highest consequences, and that is where today's work is focused.
The refresh targets Immich with a focused look at migration notes in the latest release, n8n where workflow-breaking changes arrive frequently and quietly, and Jellyfin with plugin compatibility context that several readers have asked for. Each page links directly to the source release so readers can verify the classification themselves.
Two well-known apps are proposed to join the catalog: Headscale, the open-source Tailscale control-plane server, and Forgejo, the actively maintained Gitea fork. Both ship on a regular cadence and sit in the networking and code-hosting space where this audience already spends time.
One retention mechanic is proposed: a weekly digest page listing every tracked app currently flagged caution or breaking, with the release version and a one-line migration note drawn entirely from existing tracker data. Readers who have been caught by a bad update tend to become regular checkers, and a single bookmark before any maintenance window is a reason to return.
