I used to simply use the ‘latest’ version tag, but that occasionally caused problems with breaking changes in major updates.
I’m currently using podman-compose and I manually update the release tags periodically, but the number of containers keeps increasing, so I’m not very happy with this solution. I do have a simple script which queries the Docker Hub API for tags, which makes it slightly easier to find out whether there are updates.
I imagine a solution with a nice UI for seeing if updates are available and possibly applying them to the relevant compose files. Does anything like this exist or is there a better solution?

I combine 3 options:
- Watchtower updates most containers. They never break. If it leads to some breaking, it goes to the second option.
- Update script that update the whole stack from portainer webhook. This did fix the only stack that used to give me issues with watchtower. The other stack is watchtower itself.
- Manual update. Only for Homeassistant. I want to make sure to know about breaking changes. So I update it when I can and I read the patch notes.
It works for my around 100 containers.
