Container Updating Strategies

• home-ops

  52 1,691 10.0 Shell

  Wife approved HomeOps driven by Kubernetes and GitOps using Flux

For example: https://github.com/onedr0p/home-ops/pull/4528

• Diun

  72 2,591 9.0 Go

  Receive notifications when an image is updated on a Docker registry

Don't use watchtower. It only looks for the latest tag on a container, latest could be v2 and then become v3 which has breaking changes. If you insist, use watchtower in notify-only mode or check out Diun instead and never use a latest tag ever again.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• docker-updater

  1 2 10.0 JavaScript

I've use a script to check for updates. Than - for updating - I have a simple bash script that does the dc pull, dc up - d, and cleans afterwards.

• zrepl

  22 894 6.8 Go

  One-stop ZFS backup & replication solution

  

• webhook

  42 9,823 5.5 Go

  webhook is a lightweight incoming webhook server to run shell commands

I use https://github.com/adnanh/webhook to deploy the changes in the git repository to the server and have it run docker compose up -d. I actually just modified it this week to run the docker commands in a background queue using https://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/soft/ts/ (commands are added to a queue and run in the order they were added, useful for long-running commands) this way webhook can reply that the git repository was updated on the server and the docker compose command was added to the task queue and webhook doesn't timeout.

• watchtower

  215 16,755 8.4 Go

  A process for automating Docker container base image updates.

  

It depends. Some containers I update automatically using watchtower: there comes something not critical or where I'm using a development version of an app. But I update some containers manually by rolling out new deployments in Nomad.
