This video gave me the confidence to switch. Question for you all. I switch over to DockHand and I was wondering how do you all track what version you a running of service when there is an update available… so you know what to rollback to if there is an issue. it seems like there isn’t anything native. What the best practice. Sometimes problems aren’t discovered until long after update.

If you are using compose files with the tag latest you can edit that to be the previous version. But that may not work in every case because some updates may also update the data to fit the new version meaning you would have to roll back the data as well. A simple, but not really elegant approach is to run docker in a VM and roll that VM back which of course comes with the problem that it roll everything back.

In practice most of the applications I use are very stable so it’s a non-issue except for one app: https://twenty.com/ . I have not talked much about this app because it feels very beta and has had a lot of breakage from updates and is really the only one update with an immediate plan to roll back after testing.

Does this work with images compiled using docker build?
