I used to simply use the ‘latest’ version tag, but that occasionally caused problems with breaking changes in major updates.
I’m currently using podman-compose and I manually update the release tags periodically, but the number of containers keeps increasing, so I’m not very happy with this solution. I do have a simple script which queries the Docker Hub API for tags, which makes it slightly easier to find out whether there are updates.
I imagine a solution with a nice UI for seeing if updates are available and possibly applying them to the relevant compose files. Does anything like this exist or is there a better solution?
Here is how I did it:
docker run -d \ --name watchtower \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -e WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL=matrix://username:[email protected]/?rooms=!ROOMID:domain.org \ -e WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_TEMPLATE="{{range .}}[WatchTower] ({{.Level}}): {{.Message}}{{println}}{{end}}" \ containrrr/watchtowerEdit: I created a pull request to the WatchTower documentation, here: https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower/pull/1690
Thank you very much! I’ll get this set up on mine.
