Notification when new app versions are released (lemmy.world)

TL;DR: is there an app that can alert me when a new version of some other app is available?

I have about 12 - 15 services (freshrss, heimdall, photoprism, Wordpress, etc) running using docker compose spread across 4 hosts. Through my self-hosting journey I’ve been burned a few times using “latest” images so I now pin app image versions within compose.

The problem then becomes that every couple of weeks, I have to go out to different GitHub’s, docker hub, etc. to see if a new update for that service is available. It gets a bit tedious with 12-15 services every couple of weeks so I need a centralized and more efficient way of “keeping up”.

Is there some type of app that can track whether an app/service has a new version available? Ideally it can send me some type of notification, self-hostable, and ideally not Portainer?

Interesting… do you like this way more or the rss route more?

Not more but I would say it offers some additional options and integrations, because it's api based. For example, on my server I connected it with ntfy.sh which executes the command to pull the update, for the apps' docker container. (It's working 90% of the time)
