My main resource is the podman documentation

There is a podman-auto-update.service systemd service. It was not enabled on my fedora atomic GNOME installation.

You can start it with systemctl start podman-auto-update.service It’ll auto update daily at 00:00.

For a container to auto update, you have to add

    labels:
      - "io.containers.autoupdate=registry"

to the compose.yml file, otherwise it won’t be updated. (only auto update if you specify it)

Make sure that the image is specified correctly with the source, e.g. ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf or docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin.

You can then run podman auto-update --dry-run and if you are satisifed with it, test the first auto update with podman auto-update.

Yeah, works great in my experience, but requires a bit of care if the upstream container packager is only doing a “latest” tag and not major version tags that are unlikely to break compatibility.

How do you circumvent it?

You kindly ask the maintainer of the container repository to add major version tags ;)
