GitOps for docker compose stacks

https://piefed.social/post/1283831

Wondering, Just after how many containers does ops make sense? I have a dozen containers, I check for updates once a month manually. I update the compose/docker files manually and up my containers. In stages, because my git and my container registry are also containers. Also my dev is my prod env.

I think it depends on the rate of change, rather than the amount of containers.

At home I do things manually as things change maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Professionally I usually do setup automated devops because updates and deployments happen almost daily.
