Anyone know an automated way to keep your #truenas based docker apps updated? The OCD in me goes bonkers when I see out of date apps when I wake up the next morning.

#docker #selfhost

@bazurk what if something breaks or needs change of configuration?

@mattesilver

then I learn how to fix it and in the end II gain that knowledge. Sounds like a win win situation to me.

edit: also I just put it in notify mode for now. so it wont brick me.. but thank you for caring. Your appreciated.

@bazurk
Just a heads up in case you were unaware:
Watchtower is no longer maintained:

@betaigeuze

Good looking out! You are very much appreciated!

@bazurk I believe you can use regular Docker maintenance systems like Watchtower, to automatically update containers on TrueNAS same as any other docker system. BUT: It is not at all recommended to auto-update containers in case something goes wrong during the update and your system is left in an unrecoverable or compromised state, for instance, after the recent Axios compromise/breach.

My ADHD can not keep my eyes off your avatar. teach me sir I need one of those.

@bazurk LOL! It's just an animated GIF of the Amiga Boing Ball. I picked it because it's nice and subtle, and not flashy or annoying.

@anaerin

Would you be okay with me using it as mine? I would only do so with your permission. maybe send me the file? or teach me old ADHD master! I can't keep my eyes off it. Its even my favorite color.

@bazurk No te lo recomiendo. TrueNAS suele aplicar cambios sin anunciar visiblemente que si no haces unas acciones, cuando actualices se romperá tu aplicación. Creo que es algo que deberían cambiar.
@lynze thank you someone else gave me the same warning. I have decided to use a different program entirely and only on notification mode. I was warned by others depending on automatic updates. I hope this translates alright for you my friend. Thank you for your input.
