🔖 Feature description

It would be really nice if Dockge would show whether a stack is out of date or whenever an update is available for images in a stack. Now I can click Update however much I want, but I don't know if it was necessary or not.

✔️ Solution

Show whether an update is available for a stack by periodically checking whether updates are available for images. This functionality would also overlap with #92, but is specific for a stack.

❓ Alternatives

Image management, as proposed by #92

Even a little colored icon beside the image tag could be great I guess:

Colors maybe like (simulated on screenshot):

• Green: Running the latest version of the image.
• Red: New image is available.
• Gray: Indicate an issue while checking if a new image is available.

These could be on a schedule, maybe. Showing on another color the "pending" status of the image check.

This is much needed. Portainer have this via small dot in green or yellow which tells if there's update available.

[mixedd69]

Agree, this is handy and actually needed functionality.
Other thing that could come handy would be notification implementation, that would cut off on using Diun or Watchtower or WUD for notification sending

This feature is nice.

I would also like such a feature very much.

[GabrielPearce]

This would be an amazing feature I would love!

i am currently using dockcheck (https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck) which is clever and uses the diagest to determine if there is an update
the developer has a writeup about it here: https://mag37.org/posts/project_dockcheck/

[GIorfindel]

This is actually the thing preventing me from ditching portainer.

[djismgaming]

An idea for the time being.

I set up Diun to notify me of updates via Ntfy.

Then I go in Dockge and do the update.

[GIorfindel]

Yes, i saw watchtower and diun but I don't want to bother with setting up notifications or mails. Being able to see available updates directly in portainer is much more user friendly, so i will just stick with it for now.

Hello,

I've just discovered Dockge, which I've set up as a test. I really like its simplicity of use, which corresponds almost perfectly to my "basic" use of Docker.

Right now, I'm using Portainer BE because it's a simple way of alerting me to the availability of updates for my containers, via a green/orange badge system on each line of my stacks or containers. Even though Portainer is far too powerful for my basic use, this simple little feature makes all the difference for me.

As with Glorfindel, this tiny lack in Dockge means that I'm staying with Portainer BE in production for the moment. I'm going to continue to follow Dockge's development, and I think that as soon as this little feature (obviously requested by the community) will arrive, I will migrate from Portainer to Dockge because it's a really interesting solution.

Best regards,

Alex

This would be so nice. It's how I quickly at a glance notice if the docker containers I have separately on my unRAID box need an update.

[jontstaz]

I'm currently working on implementing this FYI. I will post my fork once it's functional and raise a PR.

[tismofied]

Any Updates on this?

[di5cord20]

This feature would be great. I'm currently using docking-station for this purpose.

[tismofied]

Docking-station? this one

[di5cord20]

Yes, that's the docking-station I currently use. It has a nice interface to show updates available and how mature those updates are. I'd love that build into Dockge and not require a different app and interface to review.

[djismgaming]

Nice find! I do like the modularity of using a different application. I give it a try while this gets implemented in dockge.

Edit: It is glorious! Thanks for this! (love the direct links to the image's repos)

[deanfourie1]

While docking-station works, I would rather not spool up another container just to notify me of updates or I will have docker containers coming out my poop shoot.

Would be so much better to just keep it all in one,

Please integrate this feature request into DockGE.

[zandadoum]

i am trying to get away from portainer. loving dockge so far, specially now that i can add multiple server agents.
but i am really missing the update notification that portainer implemented last year

the suggestion djismgaming gave in january sounds great.
