4 weeks ago Hello,
TRIGGER here actually means "performing an action".
Actions can take various forms:
- sending notifications (mail, sms...)
- sending events (mqtt message, amqp message, http request...)
- replacing the current container by the new version
- etc
How do I test without cron that I have configured SMTP correctly? No manual trigger?
There is no manual trigger, right. You can, though, run from the UI on-demand tasks without having to wait for the CRON schedule to trigger
In the GUI, I cannot manually update any container?
If you want to update a container, you need to configure the Docker trigger (but it means that updates will be performed automatically).
Today I received only three notifications at 13:00, 16:00, 18:00 (strange times) that an update is available for a single container. Why only a single container when there are 12 in total? And why exactly this specific one?
By default, the CRON run every hour at 00. If for some containers, a greater version is found on the registry, you'll get notifications for them.
Next executions wont notify you over and over (unless the version on the registry has changed meanwhile)
In general, I assumed that the application would check for available updates. I am not a fan of automatic updates; I like to decide myself which container to update. I assumed that I would receive a notification and I would personally decide which container to update.
That's the main purpose of this tool.
I noticed the integration into Home Assistant. It would be great to display a card with available updates where I can define a trigger for each of them, which will initiate the actual event and thus update the container.
Integrating the possibility to update a container from HA is a feature requested from a long time; I just don't have the time right now to implement ;)
I hope I have answered your questions.

Apparently, I did not understand how the application works. In general, I understand the term TRIGGER as an initiator of an action, but does this application use it directly as the action?
Let me explain my situation:

Did I misunderstand the whole concept of WUD?
