  • dockcheck

    CLI tool to automate docker image updates. No pre-pull, selective, notify, prune.

  • dockcheck is a shellscript that can check all your containers for image updates, and then offers you the option to either update and restart them all, or a selection, or none. Very useful if you are in the commandline a lot.

  • Portainer

    Making Docker and Kubernetes management easy.

  • Something like Portainer?

  • WorkOS

    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.

  • watchtower

    A process for automating Docker container base image updates.

  • Watchtower is quite popular. It is a watchdog that monitors the images your containers are using, and at regular intervals, checks their registries (Docker Hub, GitHub, etc) if there are new "versions" available. Then it can either automatically pull the image and restart the container to immediately use it. Or it can just notify you about it and you manage the updating yourself.

  • Diun

    Receive notifications when an image is updated on a Docker registry

  • diun is very similar to that, but it doesnt auto-update, just notifies but does that very well imo.

  • DCW

  • DCW (dockcheck-web) is based on the above dockcheck but has a web-ui.

  • dockcheck-web

    A webpage showing available image updates for your running containers.

  • I use Dock Check web to get a web page of containers that can be updated. It has notifications via telegram, email etc... Then use portainer to update the ones I want.
