Yacht VS watchtower

You can try Yacht https://github.com/SelfhostedPro/Yacht

If you have a dashboard and prefer UI, check this out https://github.com/SelfhostedPro/Yacht

Portainer looks popular but it's actually not easy to use, can't see which container is upgradable and doesn't even care to support mobile.

I found an alternative which is still a very young project but I've replaced Portainer.

Hey, just as a note, Yacht has some stats and has compose support: https://github.com/selfhostedpro/yacht

I've also built a semi-popular (15 million downloads) Docker container UI mostly on my own (https://github.com/SelfhostedPro/Yacht) and enjoy doing some prototype development work when the opportunity presents itself. Salary requirement is $150k total comp. Must be a remote position. PM me if you'd like to get in touch and discuss an opportunity.

This is what I did with my app that started out as a flask app (has since moved to fastapi+vuejs but the flask version is still alive in the legacy-flask branch) https://github.com/selfhostedpro/yacht). If you have any questions or want any tips, feel free to reach out.

> if you're using the docker image, upgrades are a breeze. Just bump the tag on the image, redeploy, and you're done.

Or you could just run Watchtower beside it and it will automatically update your docker containers. https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower If you are OK with automated updates.

So i primarily use containers on my local machine walled off from the internet, so it's not a big concern for me. Watchtower [1] is popular among home server users too which automatically updates containers to the latest image.

For production uses I think companies generally build their own containers. They would have a common base linux container and build the other containers based off that with a typical CI/CD pipeline. So if glibc is patched, it's probably patched in the base container and the others are then rebuilt. You don't have to patch each container individually, just the base. Production also minimizes the scope of containers with nothing installed except what's necessary so they have few dependencies.

You can use Watchtower (https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/) that solves problem of manual pulling on VPS.

I checked https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/ and Arguments, but I don't understand where to attach that using portainer.

Again, there are options to automate some of the burden here by using tools such as Watchtower.

Have you ever deployed a Docker app on a server, but everytime you push a new version of your image to a Docker registry you need to manually restart your app? If you want to automate this restarting, this blog post is for you! I am now going to show you how you can do this with literally 1 simple command using Watchtower!
