[Self-hosting] Image push with every release

[artemvmin]

I would like to keep my instance up to date with the latest Ente features. There was a release 2 weeks ago and another one yesterday. However, the latest image is 29 days old: https://github.com/ente-io/ente/pkgs/container/server

Would it be possible to push a new image with every release?

Images are pushed every month - https://github.com/ente-io/ente/blob/main/.github/workflows/server-publish-ghcr.yml#L4-L6

There is a reasonable overhead in the github workflow that publishes the docker images. It also might not be the best idea to push an image on each server release, since lots of people rely on the docker image and pushing a release help vet things first in our infrastructure.

That said, maybe the one month cycle can be shortened. Will see if other people have comments.

I worry about having inconsistency between the app and server. My app informed me of new features, which I assume already got pushed out to your servers, but is not available on my end.

You're right, but usually the features are all client side since the data is end to end encrypted. Not always, but usually. In the case of exceptions, we do try to manually trigger a release of museum!

That works for me!
