Feature: Check if a newer latest image is available #37

Closed Burningstone91 closed 2 years ago

Burningstone91 commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I wrote a small script to check if there is a newer version available of the currently used image. See this post on the HA forum. Someone suggested to open a feature request to get this added to your custom component. What's your opinion on that? Happy to help where I can.

I checked your script, but it only works on the "latest" version I think? That makes it a bit not very generic solution. I couldn't think of one either, otherwise I would have implemented something already. At this moment watchtower or newreleases.io is a better approach.

Burningstone91 commented 3 years ago

Yeah, that's the problem. And it also doesn't work for all images :( I got it working for my needs, but hope you'll find a better solution at one point :) What I don't like about watchtower that it downloads the image anyway, even if you don't want to update, right? Need to check out newreleases.io.

I got it working for my needs, but hope you'll find a better solution at one point :)

I go with Diun for monitoring updates. Has quite a few notification options (MQTT, webhooks, pushover etc) to integrate well into Home Assistant as well as directly notifying.

I added the information to the readme, so I will close this one.
