Ghost 6 docker versions and when to update

I just did a migration from Ghost v5 to v6, from CLI installation to Docker installation, and am wondering when do I know I need to update my installation.

I would usually check the current installed version against the latest stable release. But I can’t even tell which version of the Docker container I am using, it just says ghost:6-alpine, when I do docker compose ps.

How do you guys do it?

When you go to Settings, you can scroll all the way down on the sidebar and click About.
From here, it will tell you your version.
I watch docker hub and push updates that way with an active patcher for R2 for my clients. This is done on the same day the docker hub pushes an update.

Aaaah! The famous settings page! Was there just now, after asking this question.

Thanks, thanks. Takes a bit getting used to the switch between CLI and Docker installs.

How do you watch the docker hub for changes? Is there an RSS feed or something?
