Diun Alternatives

Diun reviews and mentions

• Watchtower vs DIUN: Docker Update Tools
  2 projects | dev.to | 20 Feb 2026

  DIUN (Docker Image Update Notifier) monitors Docker images for updates and sends notifications through your preferred channel (Discord, Slack, Telegram, email, webhooks, and 15+ more). It never pulls images or restarts containers. You get notified, you decide what to do.

• Self-hosting with Podman
  5 projects | dev.to | 15 Apr 2025

  Additionally at some point people behind this product decided to change the licensing model, and allow the use of community editions for up to 5 nodes. It wasn't my case, but that pushed me to use something more independent. So I started using dockge, then added another service for docker logs, version monitor, and keeps adding applications that are fun to use, for example homebox or bookstack. It was fun until I released the cost of energy and maintenance effort need to keep it running, at my home. Every internet issue, or power issue takes my setup down. Maybe it was not happening very often, but when I wasn’t home, and the hardware was down, there was no chance to fix it remotely. And I started relaying on that service. That is why I simply decided to migrate to hetzner, and podman at the same time, and use remote NFS. However, let's start from the beginning.

• Is there a tool to monitor container images version locally and notify if there are updates?

• PSA - Run "docker image prune" once in a while.

  Thanks, I used to use it. I moved to using diun to just notify of updates but not apply them though.

• How you guys update your docker images? Noob here

• Update containers/images to latest version in Docker Desktop (windows)
  6 projects | /r/docker | 27 Jun 2023

  Similar to Watchtower but without the option to auto-update containers, just notifying is diun. But imo it does that better and more reliable than Watchtower does. You can get notified by Email, Discord, Pushover, Telegram and many more options.

• Seatch for apps updates notifier app
  3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 2 Jun 2023

  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.

• Watchtower Notify Only
  1 project | /r/docker | 22 May 2023

  You might want to have a look at https://crazymax.dev/diun/ which is purpose built for what you're trying to do (notify when an update is available, but not install).
