Daily Docker Build necessary? about wg-easy HOT 10 CLOSED

Why not look into something like Dependabot to monitor when the Alpine image is updated and auto create a new PR (and you can even set it to automerge). That way your image is only updated when Alpine is updated (or if you manually trigger it).

We update daily to ensure the 'FROM' is always latest.

Additionally, when changes are made, a version is changed and users will see an 'There's an update available' in the UI.

So no chance of different tags? It looks like both the latest and 2 tags are updated regularly. I don't always check the UI so that's why I run DIUN to notify me when docker hub sees a new container.

Well, technically speaking it is updated :) But no, I think this is a fine way to ensure latest is always up to date, without maintenance required from me.

Respectfully, it's your project so your call, but I highly doubt the "FROM" is updated daily, so seems like a complete waste to build it daily. I think there's a better solution, but again your call. Guess I'll look elsewhere for a solution.

A waste of what?

Resources from GitHub/Docker. I know it's all free and the builds take only minutes but there has to be a more efficient way that the club of just building everyday.

Also...it's Wireguard. It doesn't really need to live on the bleeding edge. Security patches sure but again building weekly would likely be fine. Plus looking at the Alpine build history looks like there was an update 2 days ago and then 23 days ago. Again, just seems like a waste of time to build every day.

It's more a waste of time for me to monitor when some dependency has been updated :) But thanks!

+1. This sounds like a good idea. When automating anything, flow should be set in most efficient way possible.

There's a nightly being built every day: https://github.com/WeeJeWel/wg-easy/actions/workflows/deploy-nightly.yml
