Maybe you’ll find dockcheck is a more mature and rounded version of what you wanted, and you can fork it to tinker with the other features you want for your own personal use if it doesn’t do everything you wanted! Or maybe you’ll find you like yours better anyway. Hope you find something interesting in it, regardless!

I personally find dockcheck on each host + a simple systemd service is more or less perfect for my needs. I hook it up to a grafana dashboard so it can give me a running tally of what’s out of date and what’s not alongside the rest of my monitoring stack.

On face value it doesn’t look too different to dockcheck. What you’ve described (CLI, read-only, no auto updates, sends notifications via channel of your choosing) sounds exactly like how my dockcheck is set up. Were you aware of dockcheck and if so, how would you say your project differs?

Rather than the Streisand effect which is about attempts to censor information, its probably more accurately described by a term I recently learned about (coined by Lee Vinsel and popularised by Cory Doctorow in his various writings): ‘Criti-hype’.

Doctorow uses it to describe how a lot of online AI criticism is actually feeding the so-called “growth story” that makes AI look attractive to investors (i.e., by tacitly accepting the narrative that AI is actually good enough to ‘take our jobs’, for example) which leads to greater and greater stock valuations of AI companies, and therefore continued AI bubble inflation.

I see the parallels here, not sure if it’s 100% applicable, but thought I’d throw it out there

My pleasure! Good luck with development, seems like a cool project.

This would probably get crazy popular if there was a supported integration for Stash
