#Watchtower

Anyone following me that uses WUD? I used to use watchtower, but apparently that was abandoned and it's no longer compatible with the recent docker update. So I went searching around and WUD appears to be the tool to use, but I'll be damned if I can wrap my head around the config..

#docker #devops #watchtower #wud

In December, the authors of #watchtower decided to archive their own project.

There are a few forks out there - unfortunately I know nothing about them so can't really vouch for their legitimity. If you want to continue using Watchtower, please assess them yourself without switching. A few of the active forks I've looked at are full of AI slop and while they might work, I wouldn't advice using any of them.

This is not a good way to end a project. The original authors recommend looking at Kubernetes instead. For many #Docker users, this is not an option. They need a drop-in replacement for Watchtower which keeps their docker containers updated.

One fedizen wrote that this is a popular fork but he did not test it himself:
github.com/nicholas-fedor/watc
Is this one of the forks that is afflicted with #AIslop?

#homelab #selfhosting #docker #itsec #itsecurity

It is with a heavy heart, and some sense of relief, that I'd like to announce that we are looking to archive containrrr/watchtower. Neither @piksel, nor I, are big users of docker anymore, and frankly lost interest (and time) in maintaining the project.

With that said, the separate shoutrrr project will remain active for the time being.

Thank you for this time, and for showing such a overwhelming amount of interest in the project! It's really been a fun ride!

Best,

Ich habe mich schon gewundert, warum viele #Docker Container nach Updates schreien, sie aber nicht bekommen, um dann festzustellen, dass das originale #Watchtower Projekt eingestellt wurde.

Statt containrrr/watchtower benutzte ich jetzt nickfedor/watchtower

Sebastian ha passato un po' di tempo nella caserma militare, lontano dall'unica figura della sua vita che gli abbia mai dato (almeno a sentire lui) affetto e protezione: sua madre.
Ma ora sua madre è tornata... le cose torneranno come prima?
E siamo proprio sicuri, che stare sempre accanto a mamma sia meglio?

Sebastian non è più un bambino piccolo... ma neanche un ragazzo grande, bisogna dire. Ha quattordici anni, adesso, e inaspettatamente sta per ricevere un onore ed un onere mostruosi: essere il conduttore di ARGIRO 200X, il supercomputer quantico più potente degli Stati Uniti d'America.
Accetterà il suo nuovo compito? E a dire il vero... ha forse altra scelta?

Der Torri ta’ Xutu ist einer der zahlreichen Küstenwachtürme aus der Zeit der Johanniter-Ritter. Er diente zur Signalisierung und Beobachtung der Seewege südlich Maltas. Heute steht er restauriert oberhalb der Bucht und ist stiller Zeuge der militärischen Sicherung der Inselküste.

Kennt jemand eine gute Alternative für #Watchtower , um #docker Images automatisch aktuell zu halten?
Das Projekt wurde nach längerem Stillstand nun archiviert.

Der Dwejra Tower wurde im 17. Jhd als Teil eines Warnsystems errichtet, um die Küste zu überwachen. Seine kompakte Bauweise und Lage oberhalb der Klippen machen ihn zu einem klaren Orientierungspunkt auf meiner Wanderung.

If you used to do automatic image updates in your and are sad that it's gone, I just got nerdswiped into building my own alternative: github.com/rcarmo/guerite

New #blog post: Playing around with #Woodpecker #CI

I decided to deploy Woodpecker into my LAN and hook it up to my #gitlab instance

This post talks about deploying it and configuring CI jobs to periodically rebuild some container images (which are then pulled by #watchtower at the consuming end)

There's also a bonus section on having #telegraf squash container names in metrics to avoid excessive cardinality growth
