1stepVigil - a self-hosted dashboard that watches your Docker images
BrianTheeBiscuiteerGreat idea. Automatic updates (e.g. Watchtower) make me a little nervous.
danAutomatic updates for bug fixes (e.g. 1.0.0 to 1.0.1) are usually fine - it’s major and minor updates that are scarier. I’ve never used Watchtower so I’m not sure if it has an option to only allow bugfixes.
That would depend on each project properly using semver, which is unlikely.
Personally, I just risk all the updates. It’s not a huge deal to recover.
Yeah, I’m a developer and my teammates don’t always follow semver standards. I try to but every now and then it’s really hard to know which is the right move. I’ve also had breaks because of minor increments and the author refused to roll back the change because the new behavior was consistent with the spec [that didn’t change].
For me, it’s all about finding the right balance. I don’t want to have to manually update for every little bug fix version bump. Most software I find that major.minor version tags, if they exist, are a good compromise with daily auto updates unless it’s a really fast releasing software where just a major version makes sense. I usually just track releases on GitHub or wherever the source is hosted and bump as I need. That takes care of probably 90-95% of the containers I run.
