Hi guys! I was wondering whatever solution you guys might use to check/update your servers/containers? I’d like not having to depend on any cloud, something running locally would be great.
Thanks!

With Gitea/Forgejo you can run a local actions executor, which builds the images, pushes to gitea’s image registry, and using a script pulls them on the other side and restarts them. Worked fine in our small startup.
Podman has that built in via Systemd.
So does docker and pretty much everything else. I would be careful if you aren’t doing it manually.
Yep. It’ll work fine until it doesn’t.
I update my servers with
pkg_add -u. No reason to over complicate things.I run a script each week that updates docker images and restarts containers. And also every week I run a system update command and reboot the server afterwards.
You shouldn’t run a server, if you don’t have to time to maintain it.
Ansible
I set and update my containers with Ansible. It works well, but it’s a bit slow and it’s a whole setup on top of your deployment!
Docker: ouroboros. Linux: unattended-upgrades or dnf-automatic. Windows: MECM.
I know those FOSS ones aren’t centralized, but I find it a lot easier for them to just update themselves as necessary.
Why ouroborous over watchtower for docker ?
