      I only let me notify about updates. I don’t want autoupdates, because some projects may have breaking changes (looking at you Immich 😁)

      I get a message from watchtower over Gotify and then I can read the changelog

        I’ve been thinking about this. Can you do that with watchtower? Don’t need diem or anything?

          It is very easy. Here is my compose:

          services:
            watchtower:
              image: containrrr/watchtower
              container_name: watchtower
              restart: always
              volumes:
                - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
                - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
              command: --interval 10800
              logging:
                driver: local
              environment:
                    WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL: gotify://
                    WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME: Fancy name
                    WATCHTOWER_MONITOR_ONLY: true
                    WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_HEAD_FAILURE: never
          

          Every 3 hours it will check for updates, send a message via Gotify and pull the new images. It will not restart the containers with the new images.

            Honestly I think this might be a better way than what I’m using now. I’ve subbed to dockerrelease.io and releasealert.dev … get spammed all day everyday because the devs keep pushing all sorts of updates to old branches… or because those sites aren’t configured well.
