For those of you that use docker, how do you make sure your docker-compose.yml (and possibly .env) files stay current with the project’s ongoing updates? I’m sure there’s an easier way than what I’m doing which is manually getting the latest ones and checking the diffs in vscodium. And I’m sure some git magic already takes care of this but I’ve been slow in learning git beyond the VERY basics. Thanks!
I deploy and update my service similiar to this fantastic guide: https://nickcunningh.am/blog/how-to-automate-version-updates-for-your-self-hosted-docker-containers-with-gitea-renovate-and-komodo
Basically I run Komodo, which pulls a git repo. Renovate opens a PR (and most of the time the changelog is included, so I can quickly check what happened) for new versions. Once merged a webhook fires to tell Komodo to pull the new version.
I really recommend this approach now. Once setup it is very automatic, but not to the point of YOLO-automation like Watchtower and :latest 😅
This seems really interesting. I’ll have to read up on it more and try to wrap my head around it but I’m definitely checking this out. Thank you!!
