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?

    I use watchtower and hope nothing will break. I never read breaking changes.

    When an issue happens, I just search the internet or change the tag to a known working version until the issue is resolved.

    I can afford to have my server down for a few days. It’s not critical to me.
