Docker latest version not up-to-date?

Help docker

Hi,

I am running Pi-hole in a docker container. I am using Portainer to manage all my containers. So far, all has been very well.

When pulling the latest version of pi-hole with

services:
  pihole:
    container_name: pihole
    image: pihole/pihole
    hostname: pihole
    ...

I get version v5.18.3, which is from 2024.07.0.

If I have a look at the docker hub page, I see that there are no newer stable versions available, but nightly versions are very up-to-date.

Up until 2024.07.0, there have been monthly stable versions? Why not anymore? Is there nothing relevant for a new version? (-> e.g. security updates) or is something wrong with the docker tag versioning?

Thanks for any insights,
Chris

Did you read the release notes for Pi-hole v5.18.4?

That release was a hotfix for Fedora 41.
Pi-hole docker image is not based on Fedora (it is based on Debian), so there is zero difference between v5.18.3 and v5.18.4.

2024.7.0 is the latest docker release and it contains the most recent releases of every Pi-hole component. v5.18.3 is the correct version for docker latest.

Well... nightly is updated every night.
Also this is the image containing Pi-hole development code. Currently that code is based on Pi-hole v6.

Hi rdwebdesign,

thank you for your response and clarification.
Sorry for not having a look at the release notes.

So, this is intentional that there have been monthly stable updates and then it has stoped with version v5.18.3. I assume, this is due to the pending release of version v6? Fine for me. I will be happily waiting for the new latest version...

Exactly.

We are still maintaining v5, but only for security issues or some cases like the Fedora hotfix.

Our energy is focused on fixing all bugs in v6-beta and improving it.
