[Feature Request] 'Update' button

[boomam]

For those of us that dont want to automate updating, it would be good to retain watching ability, but have the ability to press an 'update' button to update.

I would like automatic updates for selected containers (a list of free-to-update items could be given to wud with variables/labels), but for other very important ones I would like to be more in control. So an manual update button would be an awesome idea.

I agree with @boomam, I want to monitor my containers for updates and deploy them with an "Update" button

This would be awesome. I'm currently using Watchtower to auto-update some containers, and WUD to tell me when the rest need updating. Having this option to manually update certain containers would mean I could just use WUD.

This has also been discussed as part of the update entity in HA. Issue is closed, but referencing it here to maintain easy-access history: https://github.com/fmartinou/whats-up-docker/issues/186#issuecomment-1344603845 There was some initial discussion on how to get this setup.

I would love to see this feature. I'll add my plus one to this as well.

I've started to work on a proof-of-concept few weeks ago... It involves a big rework and because I don't have much time these days, it will last a bit before it's done. But it will be ready sooner or later 😁 .

What about Hass Integration? You create update-entities in hass. What does clicking "Update" in hass do today? And what should it do concerning this feature?

Currently you cannot click on the hass update button because it has been disabled. You can only skip the available update

This github issue will provide triggers the capability to receive container update commands (mqtt topic, http request, telegram command, ui action...) and wud will update the container using the appropriate watcher (docker, docker-compose...)

Regarding Home-Assistant integration:

• All containers managed by WUD will be added as Home-assistant devices
• All container properties will be added as Home-Assistant 'entities`
• Every container will get an update entity in Home-Assistant
• The update entity will provide info regarding the current / next version
• The update entity will allow to update the container when clicking the Update button

I'm really looking forward to this!

Question, do you have an open issue for the "Read release announcement" link pointing to the old version (ie 3.1.2 in the Tydom screenshot you posted above), or will that get fixed with this issue as well? (I'd be happy to log an issue if needed for that)

It should fix that one as well 🤞 . (because wud containers will be treated as home-assistant devices instead of home-assistant entities)

@fmartinou Thanks for considering this feature request. Is there any update or ETA?

[DanZirnhelt]

Bump. Is this still a feature being worked on at all?

[filikun]

This looks really promising. I always wondered why there is no watchtower-ish application that can monitor containers for new versions and then just provide a simple notification and an update button. It's either a notification and do the manual update or automatic updates lol.
