Way to tell when Docker container updates get released

Node Operators FAQ

I’m not running watchtower. At this time I’m not interested in running watchtower. Don’t need that in this discussion.

Today I noticed that the minimum node version at https://version.storj.io/ has been updated to 1.24.4. My nodes are still at 1.22.2 but if I try a Docker pull there is no new version found to be pulled. Did something happen out of order with the latest update?
EDIT: Looks like the pull just became available at about 13:39EDT.

Also, what is the definitive way to see when the Docker version is updated? The documentation references the forum (change log) and the GitHub (https://github.com/storj/storj/releases/latest and https://hub.docker.com/r/storjlabs/storagenode) but from none of these do I see anywhere that gives any indication that the “Docker x.x.x update” is available. So far the only way I’ve found is to try a pull and see if anything downloads. Am I missing something?

Docker images are available when the cursor at https://version.storj.io/ goes to all f

Cool, got it. So it is possible (like today) that we’ll see the minimum version advance before the rollout cursor gets updated, but that window should be small? I’ll admit I hadn’t looked at the cursor prior, so maybe they did update at the same time but the Docker update wasn’t quite ready yet. Or was today an unusual occurrence?

I usually just check here… like now it says latest was updated 2 hours ago… so 1.24.2 or whatever 1.24.x is called is live now.

Thanks, searching on the “latest” tag (a detail not included in the Storj documentation) might be the key I was missing to using that. Would be nice if there were some way to match that up to the version # that displays in the dashboard.

I wonder if the old alpha/zeta releases could be cleaned out or filtered out… although having the list sorted by newest-first works.
