Using podman’s Auto-Update Feature for Containers in VyOS?

General questions
1

Has anyone successfully implemented podman’s auto-update feature on VyOS to keep containers updated automatically?

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-auto-update.1.html

Any advice on setting this up, scheduling updates, or avoiding potential issues would be greatly appreciated.

We are not planning to integrate it.
Images should be exactly the same version as downloaded and started.

I use a task-scheduler task to automatically update a container image. Unfortunately it’s a brute force method that effectively restarts the container every night, but at least it’s automatically kept up to date.

bash -c 'cat > /config/scripts/mycontainer.script' << "EOF"
#!/bin/vbash
source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template

run update container image mycontainer
run restart container mycontainer
EOF
chmod +x /config/scripts/mycontainer.script
configure
set system task-scheduler task mycontainer executable path '/config/scripts/mycontainer.script'
set system task-scheduler task mycontainer crontab-spec '00 03 * * *'
