I am currently switching from docker compose to kubernetes. Along with that, I am changing from using the :latest tag on everything to explicit versions.

Now, it’s a lot of work to check all the GitHub pages for the releases and updating.

Is there some kind of dashboard that ideally would show me (per app) the version I am running vs. the current version from GitHub? (With a link to the release notes, while we are at it…).

Or is my workflow wrong to begin with? (Haven’t looked too deep into something like argocd, maybe that’s the answer?)

    For the biggest projects I added the ICS files from endoflife.date

    So for example now I will increase version of nextcloud only when my calendar notifies me that it reached EOL (=exits beta status)

    For the smaller ones I have the same problem of you, targeting a specific version is not effortless and targeting :latest is not safe like the very useful Borg warehouse that had two consecutive breaking changes in how they manage Cron jobs…

    Or even lethal, like Zipline V4 isn’t compatible with the Zipline V3 database, and you’re supposed to do “export, wipe, import” BEFORE updating. But I was on :latest so… (luckily it was hosting just temporary data and it was easier to just delete everything and start again)
