How To: Automate version updates for your self-hosted Docker containers with Gitea, Renovate, and Komodo
In this guide I will go over how to automatically search for and be notified of updates for container images every night using Renovate, apply those updates by merging pull requests for them in Gitea, and automatically redeploy the updated containers using Komodo.
Which isn’t a great idea with all the breaking changes. I’d assume it gets better after v2, but still.
I automate my upgrades, but I also automate my backups, and monitoring.
If an upgrade breaks something, my health monitor lets me know and I can roll back to the previous day.
What tools do you use for the monitoring, backup and rollback?
I use rsync to backup, I can delete and restore the whole drive if i want at any time.
I use watchtower to keep things updated. If you schedule the rsync and watchtower correctly, you can get the backup done before the upgrade and there’s basically no lost data with the rollback.
I use uptime Kuma for monitoring, and it shoots me an email with details on what failed.
OpenMediaVault does this as well if you use the built in Docker system. I have it set to back up containers every Sunday at 1 am, at which time it pulls any new images. You can set the number of backups to retain and roll back if there are any issues.
