- Should I be using a unified Docker-Compose.yml?

PSA - Run "docker image prune" once in a while.
As someone who knows just enough about Docker to be able to scratch together a docker-compose.yml every now and again only to promptly forget all the commands I need to ever maintain them going forward, I'm eternally grateful that dockcheck.sh prompts me to do this as a final step whenever I run it.

How to safely update the docker to latest?
I’m a simple man. I upgrade everything via dockcheck, verify that everything still works, and if not restore from backup!

Portainer kind of screwed me after updating a container -- Any other alternatives to managing your containers?
And I've personally made a script to selectively auto-update containers, or just check status. With the option to filter or exclude specific containers. Find the project here: mag37/dockcheck

Update containers/images to latest version in Docker Desktop (windows)
To "mass-check and mass-update" containers from the commandline, dockcheck is very light and useful. A simple dockcheck.sh -a -p for example would check all deployed containers for image updates and if there are any, pull them, then restart the container and at the end, cleanup unused images to free up diskspace. There is also a version with a web interface, DCW.
- Docker container update notifications
- new to Alma, a bunch of questions (mostly aimed towards podman)
- Is there a centralized Docker Container Management for updating containers?

Jellyfin: Critical remote code execution vulnerability in versions before 10.8.10
I haven’t gone the watchtower route, since I’d prefer to review changes myself (or let’s be honest - others’ reactions to the changes). Instead. I’ve been using a combo of diun and dockcheck (https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck ). Diun lets me know when containers have changed and dockcheck lets me cherry pick what I upgrade.

Watchtower: understand which containers have problem from the log
If you want to update images, try dockcheck or DCW.

[OC] Update: dockcheck - Checking updates for docker images without pulling - automatically update containers by choice.
But I'd suggest looking into if it's solved by other tools already, like regclient/regclient and their regsync features or something like containers/skopeo.
-
Made a script to check for image updates without pulling, then giving the option to update all (compose-)containers with newer images.
This is possible with the help of regctl.
-
if ( ( docker-compose pull ) == imageUpdated ) then...
I've been working on some stuff last couple of days to give me this function. Together with regctl I've got some drafts working.

AWS releases Finch: An open source client for container development
with more options like auth and certs. Infra might include backing disk and LB; if you need to scale, run several and keep them in sync with one of many open tools eg regclient.
Also plenty of cloud services now have registries like GHCR, ECR, etc. which are basically pay per Gb.

How to push multiarch builds to tag after testing?
I had a similar problem and ended up using regctl. You might have to tweak your docker config depending on the registries you use, by setting a file type ci/cd envvar with the name DOCKER_CONFIG
