- 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.

The Curse of Docker
We use What's Up Docker [1] to monitor for new versions of docker containers that are created by others (eg. self hosted apps).
For containers we create ourselves, we automatically rebuild them each night which pulls the latest security updates.

Seatch for apps updates notifier app
If your apps are container images, then there are tools like diun, watchtower and whatsupdocker, those can watch the image repository (like Docker Hub) and notify you if a new/updated image has been found. Some can even download and auto-update for you, but that comes at some risk of course.

Jellyfin: Critical remote code execution vulnerability in versions before 10.8.10
I’m going to look into this soon since it seems a bit more accessible: https://github.com/fmartinou/whats-up-docker
- Is there something like homepage that can show all containers but also show if the container needs to be updated?

How do you handle updating services you have running?
Might take a look at what's up docker https://github.com/fmartinou/whats-up-docker

Looking for light weight ways I could be notified when I need to update my services to fix failures or critical security issues (particularly for Matrix)
I haven't tried it yet but this project aims to make updating docker containers a lot easier instead of just blindly trusting pull cronjobs or watchtower to work, apparently depending on the registry it can differentiate between minor/major updates and handle them differently: https://github.com/fmartinou/whats-up-docker

How do you update your containers ?
https://github.com/fmartinou/whats-up-docker Better than WatchTower IMO
