i was notified (twice) of a new nginx image on latest tag with 35fab ID, and the one i have on my server is 07ccd. when i try as simple as docker pull nginx, it tells me the image is already up to date, while docker monitoring tool like portainer sometimes confirm that my running container is out of date, then suddenly it’s up to date again. could someone explain what’s going it?
If you want to “update” a container with a newer image, then you need to re-create it and make sure you have the right tag for the image.
since my nginx container is inside a compose stack, i indeed tried
docker compose pull then docker compose up -d --no-deps commands,
but my docker instance doesn’t “see” the new image for some reason.
What’s the image tag for nginx in compose file? Is it fixed to a certain tag?
no tag specified, which should pull the latest tag.
Then we need to dig deeper: which OS, which Docker version?
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, Docker 28.2.2. just earlier i was able to pull the
“new” image, but that’s with 657fd ID, while current latest image is
7e034.
Hey, did you check if the nginx image you pulled actually has the same digest as that 35fab one you got notified about??
unfortunately the image ID is 657fd from 2 weeks ago, and doing docker
pull won’t do anything.
