Version Dashboard (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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 always use a version tag, but I don't spend any time reading release notes for 95% of my containers. I'll go through and update versions a couple times a year. If something breaks, at least I know that it broke because I updated it and I can troubleshoot then. The main consideration for me is to not accidentally update and then having a surprise problem to deal with.
