auto-update images

[endquote]

I'm using the service template for Ghost, works great.

They release new updates all the time. I follow them from the RSS feed of the releases page. https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/releases

However, the docker image doesn't get updated for some time after the release, so I have to keep checking it.

I'd like the ability to automatically run the "pull latest images and restart" action on some interval, and get an email if an update was detected.

Ideally if the update failed it would roll back, too.

Coolify could use watchtower underneath to do this

how?

have a look.

watchtower is now archived.

It would be really nice whenever it does the nightly checks for proxy updates if it also checks if there's an update available for the containers.

Right now, even Watchtower is failing and I don't know why. LLM seemed to say that it is because Coolify is taking over. I'm actually not sure at all if it is because of that, but there is definitely something weird going on.

This is what I use to auto-update my Docker apps.

services:
  watchtower:
    image: nickfedor/watchtower
    environment:
      - 'WATCHTOWER_SCHEDULE=0 0 5 * * *'
      - WATCHTOWER_UPDATE_ON_START=true
      - WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP=true
    volumes:
      - '/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'
      - '/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro'

Docker had an API update. nickfedor's watchtower uses the latest API version and I have been using it on all servers I use except coolify. I didn't know if it was safe to use with coolify.
