Comment on How do you keep up?

I run a Fedora server.
All of my apps are in docker containers set to restart unless stopped by me.
Then I run a cron job that is scheduled at like 3 or 4am that runs docker pull on all containers and restarts them. Then it runs all system uldtwa and restarts the server.
Every week or so I just spot check to make sure it is still working. This has been my process for like 6 months without issue.

Try watchtower instead of cron jobs

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

Depends on your stance on risk since WatchTower has to run as privileged

This is a good point. Generally if can accomplish what I want with my own scripts, I will go that route. I’ll probably avoid adding additional software to the mix since what I have works fine enough.
