    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.

          Is it possible to have it auto update say one container and notify the rest?

          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.
