Subsequent updates or upgrades of Docker and Portainer are the responsibility of the customer or hosting support. Helmut4 updates do not manage the current versions of Docker and Portainer.
When performing updates, please review the specific release notes for Docker and Portainer to ensure compatibility. It's important to test updates first in a staging environment before applying them to the production environment.
LTS (Long-Term Support) versions can be identified by the tag :lts
STS (Short-Term Support) versions can be identified by the tag :sts
