depends_on orders container starts, not readiness — Postgres can still be mid-recovery seconds after its container 'started'. Real log timestamps proving the gap, plus the condition: service_healthy fix that closes it.

Spotify Family now costs $21.99/mo. A real cost and maintenance-time comparison against self-hosting Navidrome on hardware you already own, a dedicated Pi, or a cheap cloud VPS -- and when it's actually worth ditching streaming.

Every self-hosted apps roundup is an unvetted list with no honest 'skip this one.' Six categories actually tested on a homelab — AI chatbot, music, automation, Reddit, Git, and CI/CD — with real hardware cost and one category that isn't worth it for most people.
