Is there a setting somewhere for how often Docker checks for updates? I have a server at work that seems to always find updates to containers long before my home server does. Just curious if this is a user-adjustable setting.

 

Thanks!

I would also like to know this, and I'd love to have an option to configure this.

That's why I am digging out this old thread found via Google ;)

Notification settings.

How often you're notified of updates and the frequency the system checks for updates is not the same thing.

This is an old problem for me and the way I described it (two systems getting updates at different rates) is not an issue anymore.

However if there was a way to set how often the system checks for docker container updates I think is what @Asghan is asking about.

It both triggers the check then notifies if there are updates.

Ah, I stand corrected! Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

But to be honest, I was strongly expecting this setting to be somewhere in the "Docker" part of the settings, not the notifications.

Thanks again!
