Auto update. Works like a charm, except PostgreSQL. For me it’s good enough and even though works with containers, where they don’t recommend it. I do have backups and for my private time, I don’t get paid, so it should be as maintenance as possible from my side.

I do check from time to time if something is broken and I noticed a container where they removed a version tag, I was using. The “biggest” thing that was broken, was my gitea server where they changed the config for the default Theme.

Also that’s why I hate PostgreSQL. It requires manual labor for updating. Had a recipe Docker and they cut support for previous major version quickly. Not good. That stuff could break, ist an option with every update. This is why backups exist. As a single user, it’s not a problem. For a big system, I wouldn’t do auto updates, so I can check if everything works.

Automatic updates. Works like a dream. Depending on what you are running it can obviously cause issues, either server side breaking or server,client communication issues

I use it to auto update nginx and haproxy containers, since they adhere very well to semver there is very little risk of breakage if you use the correct tag and not just :latest. I haven’t had a single issue in many years, and it’s nice to know that I’ll get critical security updates within 24h of images being pushed.
