Domoticz Docker Container update trigger Topic is solved

[acaonweb]

i'm switching to have domoticz into a docker container and porting was good at the moment.
there is a difference regarding the update to a new version.
in the bare installation, in setting i can enable an alert so when a new domoticz version is available, a pop up appears and i could easly update.
In the docker container, i haven't is, so i'm wondering how a new version avaliable can be notified?

there is some setting i have to enable, or someone can show me the way to do it?
Thanx

There is no trigger as it is managed by Docker. There are some tools around docker to check if there is a new docker image. You have to google for that.
Or you can run a regularly update command:

Code: Select all

docker compose pull && docker compose up --force-recreate --build -d && docker image prune -f

as indicated in the instructions on'

https://hub.docker.com/r/domoticz/domoticz

You also do not have to update every time.

If you want a good docker compose manager, you could install (via docker compose of course) DockGE, I like this one very much!

Unfortunately it states: "Debian/Raspbian Buster or lower is not supported"

@Kedi, sure that is very old... consider upgrading to bookworm!

I hade to install some extra libs to get docker running on Buster.

It's a drawback using docker as you need to SSH or install a docker manager. You can't just do it from the Domoticz interface as before.

Installed DockerGE, I should have started with it, now I need to redo everything, yes I can set it up in DockerGE and copy the config files.
But I don't want to mess with the setup again after I got all in place again.

Well, there are much more benefits:

- No system dependencies !
- Easy backup
- Easy restore

And yeah, DockGe is a very nice manager for that

You also don't have to update if you don't miss any features or fixes

Now you know how to use docker, you might check out:

So easy to try/install and maintain!

Did you have all in the same compose?

[Varazir]

I have setup as custom link

No, everything is in separate containers. You don't need to update some containers, or you might wish to spin up a new container for a test version etc.

Do you have any good script or way to update the containers when here are a new update there?
Have you tested https://getwud.github.io/wud/ ?

I use DockGE. I don't want my containers to auto-magically update by itself... no way...
I have dockers I am depending on, and if I just let them update when there is a update, and something is not working, it could be a fault in one of these 20 containers...
Good luck hunting this down.....

For instance, Zigbee2MQTT, I update when I have a device that seems not implemented yet. (If it still is not, I try to make a config and submit)
Domoticz, I update when something visual appealing has changed, or something I really want.
Else, my production instance just keeps running.
All my others I do update, but one at a time, and not often.

You don't have to update because there is a update. It's a docker. Keeping your base system up2date (security patches) is way more important.

I use Watchtower for this

keeps all Docker instances up to date.

And as mentioned, doing this automatically is not ideal at all!

Using watchtower to update critical services is a very bad idea
