v1.2.1

freshdock v1.0.0

freshdock began as a 0.0.1 name reservation on crates.io and is now a complete,
health-gated Docker container auto-updater — a maintained successor to the
archived Watchtower, in a single static binary. This is the first stable release,
closing Phases 0–7 of the roadmap after a homelab beta.

Highlights

• Health-gated rollback — a broken new image is detected and the previous
  container is restored automatically, instead of leaving a dead service.
• Per-container update modes via Docker labels: live, nightly, weekly,
  monthly, watch, off. Opt-in by design.
• Five registries — Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay.io, lscr.io, and any OCI
  bearer-token registry.
• Four notification backends — webhook, Discord, Telegram, SMTP.
• Single static binary (≤ 10 MB), no runtime dependencies.

Install

# crates.io:
cargo install freshdock

# Container image (multi-arch: amd64, arm64, armv7):
docker pull ghcr.io/turbootzz/freshdock:1.0.0    # or :latest

Prebuilt static-musl binaries for amd64 / arm64 / armv7 are attached below.
Verify them against SHA256SUMS:

v1.0.0-rc.1

freshdock v1.0.0-rc.1 — first release candidate

freshdock began as a 0.0.1 name reservation on crates.io and is now a complete,
health-gated Docker container auto-updater — a maintained successor to the
archived Watchtower, in a single static binary. This release candidate closes
Phases 0–7 of the roadmap ahead of the 1.0.0 tag.

Release candidate. cargo install freshdock will not pick this up
(crates.io treats -rc versions as pre-releases) and the GHCR :latest tag is
not moved. Install it explicitly to help with the beta — see below.

Highlights

• Health-gated rollback — a broken new image is detected and the previous
  container is restored automatically, instead of leaving a dead service.
• Per-container update modes via Docker labels: live, nightly, weekly,
  monthly, watch, off. Opt-in by default.
• Five registries — Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay.io, lscr.io, and any OCI
  bearer-token registry.
• Four notification backends — webhook, Discord, Telegram, SMTP.
• Single static binary (≤ 10 MB), no runtime dependencies.

Install

# Release candidate from crates.io (explicit version required):
cargo install freshdock --version 1.0.0-rc.1

# Container image:
docker pull ghcr.io/turbootzz/freshdock:1.0.0-rc.1

Prebuilt static-musl binaries for amd64 / arm64 / armv7 are attached below.
