Comment on How do you keep up?

I run proxmox on the host with docker in a VM for 90% of my stuff, OS updates I do like every 6 months maybe, I’ve done 1 major version upgrade on proxmox with no issues at all.
The docker containers auto-update via Komodo, and nothing really ever breaks anymore other than the occasional container error that needs a simple fix.
Everything important is backed up nightly using both proxmox backup server, and to backblaze B2 with restic.

I’ve never heard a kimono, I’ve heard a lot about Watchtower but I found it more annoying to set up due to its labeling systems. Is there any added benefit for Komodo over using a standard watch tower setup?
I haven’t set up either of them, but my main concern is having a breaking change be automatically updated

Komodo is a full management setup, similar to Portainer, Dockge, etc… It works reasonably well.
Watchtower doesn’t require any labeling unless you want to exclude a container.

Oh ok, thank you, I already use Portainer for my existing setup so it wouldn’t make much sense to fully rework it. I haden’t thought of version pinning though so I may implement that instead, it makes sense “breaking changes” wouldn’t happen within the same major version.

Yeah pinning is great, you’ll still need watchtower for auto updates too
