What is your update policy? Are you on auto update, or do you manually go over stuff, do you pick a day to just flush it all though, or are you just on an old version?
Share why and how you run your updates? I would like to hear how you all manage them
I use Watchtower to automatically fetch the new Home Assistant container image, (with a 3 day delay to decrease the chance of supply chain attacks) then stop the running container and replace it with the new one. This has been running for about a year and I’ve only had one or two breaking changes. Watchtower is scheduled to run at times when I am usually available to correct anything if needed.
