What are you using to keep informed of new software versions? Most of what I'm looking to track is open source and on GitHub but some isn't. Getting alerts via Google chat or slack or email would be cool.

Not sure if this is even something that exists at the moment.

We use renovate mostly for container images and nuget/npm/maven dependencies.

Same here. Works great self hosted and the regex manager solves most of everything that is not sorted out of the box

I guess I never really thought about this until now. It seems there are 3 kind of softwares I use: softwares installed from package manager (the package manager pops up a notification in the desktop when there's an update), softwares installed from 3rd party sources (they usually show any available updates in the app's UI), and softwares installed from docker (no update notifications at all. I just check for update semi-regularly every months or so).

For Docker i use diun since i dont want auto-update (would break stuff sometimes)

Thank you for the recommendation. I think I'll need this at least for my Lemmy instance. I don't want to miss any emergency security release when Lemmy get hacked again in the future.

  • distribution packages: unattended-upgrades + netdata-apt for upgrades that may slip through the cracks
  • github/gitlab/... projects: RSS feeds for releases /releases.atom or commits /commits.atom
  • the rest: nvchecker

I subscribe to the releases notifications for repos on GitHub since they include changlog information so I can know if I need to run a full backup and verify or just update the patch release.

Otherwise I just do weekly system/container updates for Linux and then unraid.

A self hosted containerised https://changedetection.io/ pointed at the public github api release endpoint for each repo.

Duin for my docker containers (the few I don't build from scratch myself)
