Hi - I'm rebuilding my homelab and want to give docker compose another try. It looks like Watchtower is years out of date now. I see two forks that look more promising per https://techgaun.github.io/active-forks/index.html#https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower

These two: https://github.com/beatkind/watchtower https://github.com/nicholas-fedor/watchtower

The former seems to have more activity. What are you all using?

I only let me notify about updates. I don't want autoupdates, because some projects may have breaking changes (looking at you Immich 😁)

I get a message from watchtower over Gotify and then I can read the changelog

I've been thinking about this. Can you do that with watchtower? Don't need diem or anything?

[–] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It is very easy. Here is my compose:

services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    container_name: watchtower
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    command: --interval 10800
    logging:
      driver: local
    environment:
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL: gotify://
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME: Fancy name
          WATCHTOWER_MONITOR_ONLY: true
          WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_HEAD_FAILURE: never

Every 3 hours it will check for updates, send a message via Gotify and pull the new images. It will not restart the containers with the new images.

Honestly I think this might be a better way than what I’m using now. I’ve subbed to ~~dockerrelease.io~~ (edit: docker-notify.com) and releasealert.dev … get spammed all day everyday because the devs keep pushing all sorts of updates to old branches… or because those sites aren’t configured well.
