Meet Renovate - Your Update Automation Bot for Kubernetes and More!

Keeping track of container image updates is hard. I started using Renovate Bot to to track these for me and I now get pull requests from a bot for my Docker and Kubernetes container images. It's a game changer.

That’s neat. For my homelab running docker compose stacks, I use DIUN, which is like watchtower but it doesn’t update the containers automatically and instead notifies you. And it supports discord out of the box, unlike watchtower. And it saves the digest on its own, so it works with latest tags without any config.

Great video as always and +1 for Docker deployments!

Definitely interested in the Docker implementation of this. Tackling Kubernetes is on my todo list, but it may be a while.

[akshaynsit]

Thanks! Looks quite interesting. I'd be interested to see how this works with Drone for docker containers.

Would love to see a video on docker please mate. Watchtower keeps breaking things. Cheers for the video.

[giuseppebinetti]

Wooow this is awesome!! Please add the video on how automate also docker deployments!!

[Lyallsmail]

I'd love to see how Renovate works with Docker deployment. Thanks for the Vid.

Very interesting, +1 for docker & docker swarm.

[fanaticdavid]

I'd love to see a video about keeping a Docker stack up-to-date using Renovate, so it's a +1 from me!

[romeozor]

would be cool if it had some info on possibly ignoring updates to some versions jumps, in case the upgrade would brake the app

[Glitch_]

renovate and docker deployments. Yes this topic would be of interest. I run a docker swarm for my homelab

podman+ubi+buildah=happy days AND a secure life.

[mathesonstep]

I set this up a few months ago, its awesome, I even setup automerge for minor versions

[MaxymVlasov]

Glad to see such a simple intro to Renovate. I hope it will be adopted everywhere in a few years. By the way, you don't need to change the image tag to SHA, just enable digest pining.

Also, you can find useful next prod ready Sharable preset for Devops folks under the MIT license

Thats interesting, thanks.

Btw. any notes on the music used in background? 🤔

[TheMrDrMs]

I'd love to see a video on installing Apprise, and mailrise!

[adolfoecs]

it is important that detecting new images does not replace doing your home work and see what you are installing. These kind of tools are not new but without tests to verify that this versions works it makes the task also very tedious

[pixelsirae]

I was wondering when you were going to show that ^^

[RonDLite]

Thanks Tim, that's exactly what I need ❤
