I used to use watchtower. But then it killed a few services that had pre-update instructions, and I learned my lesson.
It just gives me a GUI to see when a service needs an update, and a button to perform it, then I just backup and read the update notes before I do it.
Do you know if there's a way to pin to a version but have dockhand tell me if there is a new latest version tagged? Not having a clean rollback method is driving me nuts.
Yeah, version tags work fine. All my containers come from compose, and it follows whatever tags I declared there.
That's my problem I mean. I want to use the tag (e.g. v8) but then be notified when v9 is out. And v8.1. I know the 8.1 would work.
Ahh, I'm not sure about that, you'd have to check the docs.
