GitHub - sergi0g/cup: 🥤Docker container updates made easy

Submitted ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨otters_raft@lemmy.ca [bot]⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

Given that Watchtower is potentially unmaintained now, this might be a cool alternative?

Features from their github:

Extremely fast. Cup takes full advantage of your CPU and is hightly optimized, resulting in lightning fast speed. On my Raspberry Pi 5, it took 3.7 seconds for 58 images!

Supports most registries, including Docker Hub, ghcr.io, Quay, lscr.io and even Gitea (or derivatives)

Doesn’t exhaust any rate limits. This is the original reason I created Cup. I feel that this feature is especially relevant now with Docker Hub reducing its pull limits for unauthenticated users.

Beautiful CLI and web interface for checking on your containers any time.

The binary is tiny! At the time of writing it’s just 5.4 MB. No more pulling 100+ MB docker images for a such a simple program.

JSON output for both the CLI and web interface so you can connect Cup to integrations. It’s easy to parse and makes webhooks and pretty dashboards simple to set up!

Why not moving to podman and letting it do its magic?

  It sucks to migrate to podman if you have been using Docker Compose heavily.
  
  Also, updating is done with
  
  docker compose pull
  
  and
  
  docker compose up -d
  
  every 24h via cronjob

    You can use the same compose file with podman for the most part

    There’s a plugin for compose, but podman itself does have some differences here and there. I’m starting to migrate my own stuff as Docker is getting more money hungry. Womder if they’ll try to IPO in a few years. Seems like that’s what these kinds of companies do after they start to decline from alienating users. Just wish that portainer and docker hadn’t killed all the GUIs for docker and swarm was better supported.
    
    The company i work for has also required us to migrate from Docker as the hub and desktop app are no longer totally free. I expect more and more limitations will show up on the free versions as usually is the case with companies like this.

    I take it it only pulls if the image is different/newer?

  Question please, how would podman alleviate container update woes?

I may have to give Cups a try. Watchtower is cool and all, but my issue is this:

INFO[35542] Stopping /READECK (1ec5dfc944bc) with SIGTERM

ERRO[57134]** Error response from daemon: the container-wide MAC address must match the endpoint-specific MAC address for the main network**, or be left empty 
INFO[57134] Session done

The bold part is where the problem occurs. So when there is an error response from the daemon, it stops all updates to that container, and leaves it deleted. This has happened to me several times, but not always. It does update other containers but sometimes it gets a little wonky and I haven’t been able to fix that with anything that I have tried.

Just gave it a try, lovely simple interface!

Is it possible to show the container names or compose projects using an image? For example I have ferretdb showing a major update from 1 > 2, but I don’t know where that image is used so I can check or update the compose file deploying it.

Is there anything similar, but for k8s?

source
- httperror418@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Similar in which regard? Containers can be covered by this, but I’m assuming you mean for things like charts?
  
  source
  - eutampieri@feddit.it ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    Meaning that I get to see my deployment and check if the image is updated. If not, change the deployment image

Gitea (or derivatives)

So also codeberg/forgejo?

I’m currently on WUD (what’s up docker) which has some great functionality like custom templates to link to the actual release note.

Does cups allow similar thing? How does it compare to WUD if you have tested both ?

How does it prevent you from downloading maliciously modified/images?

source
- MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Not really its job, it just shows you updates are available.
