We use docker compose in scripts and crontabs
/scripts/update-alexandrite.sh:
Then use crontab -e and add this line:
00 05,00 * * * bash /scripts/update-alexandrite.sh
Are you concerned at all with auto updating containers that some updates can break stuff?
Iโve had issues with watchtower and auto updating containers in the past breaking config files and stopping containers.
Changing the update rate in cron can help offset any broken / vulnerable updates that get pushed.
Sweet thanks, do you have this and scripts to keep the other front ends updated on GitHub somewhere?
It's just docker compose and crontab..
I understand but a lot of admins that are hosting instances just for themselves and a couple of friends have little no experience running a server so having a github with different tips and best practices would be very useful. I hope you consider it :)
