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?)
I generally just use latest for most services. For critical stuff I pin the major version number. Also anything that doesn’t gracefully handle major version updates like Postgres and similar.
If something breaks I fix it, or restore from the nightly backup if I can’t.
