FOSS centralized patch management? (lemm.ee)

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!

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!

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.

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 ?

Ansible

I update my servers with pkg_add -u. No reason to over complicate things.

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.

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.
