Docker is hard work - Lemmy

Well, after a while in the container world ive come to realise that keeping all these containers up to date is hard work and time consuming with simple docker compose. I’ve recently learnt that portainer may come to hand here. I believe that feeding the yaml file through portainer allows the latter to take control of updates. Correct? I have a Truenas Scale machine with a VM running my containers as i find its the easiest approach for secure backps as i replicate the VM to another small sever just in case. But i have several layers to maintain. I dont like the idea of apps on Truenas as I’m worried i dont have full control of app backup. Is there a simpler way to maintain my containers up to date?

I think you would be fine just installing the apps in TrueNAS. You can have snapshots, you can have remote backup with e.g. StorJ and updating is so easy. I was also doing stuff manually but eventually found out that it’s not worth it. And realistically I won’t stop using TrueNAS anytime soon.

Truenas apps are just docker containers that were written by someone else anyways. You can always just turn them into a custom app and see it’s internal composition, o just make a custom app and choose the image and settings yourself exactly like in portainer.
