How do you keep docker/podman containers up-to-date? - eviltoast

I used to simply use the ‘latest’ version tag, but that occasionally caused problems with breaking changes in major updates.

I’m currently using podman-compose and I manually update the release tags periodically, but the number of containers keeps increasing, so I’m not very happy with this solution. I do have a simple script which queries the Docker Hub API for tags, which makes it slightly easier to find out whether there are updates.

I imagine a solution with a nice UI for seeing if updates are available and possibly applying them to the relevant compose files. Does anything like this exist or is there a better solution?

    Last time it happened was with one of the newer Nextcloud updates. It was a bit of trial and error, but I eventually went back to a version that worked and I could fix the underlying issue. There should be a list of version tags either on dockerhub or GitHub that list all versions that have been pushed to live and are available to pull
