plexupdate VS watchtower

but just to mention: I use https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate and it works pretty good

This is nice, but if you're going to all this trouble then why aren't you just running PlexUpdate? It does everything in this shortcut (checking active streams and updating), but does it all automatically without you manually having to press a button.

No excuse for a sysadmin when there's setup once and forget scripts like this https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate

But it's so ridiculously easy to keep Plex updated!

Googling with a few keywords and this was the first result: https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate I haven‘t used it, you might have tried this and forgot to mention it.

https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate After using this script to update my plex server all my media is Unavailable. I don't think it's a permission problem because I changed the permission to 777 for all my files and folders.

> 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!
