Summary

  • Add :latest tag to FROM ghcr.io/tankdonut/tools instruction in build/Containerfile
  • The image was pinned to a SHA256 digest without a tag, which limits Renovate's ability to track version changes

Why

Renovate can update digests for pinned images, but works best when both a tag and digest are present. Without a tag, Renovate has no semver reference to determine "newer" versions. Adding :latest enables Renovate to:

  • Track tag version changes (e.g., :latest:v2)
  • Update the SHA256 digest when the upstream image is republished

The FROM instruction for ghcr.io/tankdonut/tools was pinned to a SHA
digest without a tag. Adding the :latest tag enables Renovate to track
both tag version changes and digest updates for this base image.
