I used to simply use the ‘latest’ version tag, but that occasionally caused problems with breaking changes in major updates.

I’m currently using podman-compose and I manually update the release tags periodically, but the number of containers keeps increasing, so I’m not very happy with this solution. I do have a simple script which queries the Docker Hub API for tags, which makes it slightly easier to find out whether there are updates.

I imagine a solution with a nice UI for seeing if updates are available and possibly applying them to the relevant compose files. Does anything like this exist or is there a better solution?

    You weren’t asking me, but I’ve used K8s professionally and my take is that K8s is only suited for business environments, ones with a good number of devs and users and complex deployment/runtime needs. You’re not finding that “aha!” with K8s for self-hosting at home because, simply put, you are not the target market. It’s way overkill for your needs. The one exception is if you’re trying to learn it at home so you can use it in a corporate environment. In that case, go wild. But just don’t expect it to make sense for most modest home lab or self-hosting needs.
