Even better, Dockhand can send notifications when updates are available. I used to be a Watchtower user with nightly updates until one of my services became unavailable the next day due to a breaking change. Now I look at the update notification and apply manually through Dockhand after reviewing to make sure the update is good. Dockhand also can run Gripe and/or Trivy vulnerability scans on new images so you know approximately how many CVEs you’re adding to your network with each new or updated container! 🤣 I liked Portainer a lot but have grown to like Dockhand a lot. I’m having some issues with updates and vulnerability scanning on Hawser nodes so I’ve also tried Komodo and Arcane. Not sure which I’ll end up with long-term, but Dockhand is my favorite overall. What’s your opinion on these tools? Have you run into any issues with Dockhand?

Dockhand can search for updates but you have to install them manually. Which I prefer anyway, plus Dockhand also replaced Portainer/Komodo for me.

I haven’t tried Arcane. I prefer Komodo’s interface over Portainer but Portainer worked better for me. I was running Portainer and Dockpeek for updates but Dockhand has replaced both, and IMO the interface is even better than Komodo’s. I’m still learning, there are features I don’t know much about like stack management, which I still do manually.

You have en option to install them automatically in the settings or per container

Good to know. Personally I prefer to review the changelogs before updating, though.

In the same boat but with Arcane
