Automatic Template Updates Without Requiring a New Release

[louanfontenele]

Currently, when a new template is added via a pull request on GitHub, we have to wait for a new Dokploy release to access it. For example, the current version is 0.17.9, and if new templates were merged today, we would have to wait until 0.17.20 to use them.

It would be great to have an automated system that updates the site dynamically, making new templates available without requiring a new version release. This would improve workflow efficiency and ensure that users can access the latest templates as soon as they are merged.

Would this be possible to implement?

Hi, Yes this is in my plans to decouple the templates so that as soon as they are merged they can be used, in fact I have a repository where I plan to do this https://github.com/Dokploy/templates, I had an idea but it is somewhat complicated since we use .ts files and some logic that runs in runtime, so I would have to check well how to run those .ts files or maybe it could be better to use jsdoc to have them typed.

I hope it works. It would look amazing.

My question is related, hopefully fits with the discussion. not about templates per se, but to updates in general. I started with the n8n template, which looks like this

services:
  n8n:
    image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:1.70.3
    restart: always
    ...

n8n advises to get the latest image, just remove the version no. like so. Which I did:

    image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n

But when I rebuild and redeploy, it stays with the old image.

What would be the best way to get the latest image? I suppose the system is looking for a cached image with the same name. Is there a way to get the "latest" image automatically?
