Cup is a lightweight Rust utility for checking whether Docker (or Podman) container images have available updates. It offers both a fast CLI and a self-hosted web server with a dashboard and JSON API for integrations.

Use cases

  • check which of my docker containers have image updates available
  • avoid docker hub rate limits when checking for container updates
  • self-hosted dashboard for container image update status
  • get container update info as for home assistant or homepage widgets
  • run a cron job to check container updates from the terminal
  • monitor multiple servers' container updates from one web interface
  • lightweight alternative to what's up docker

When to choose

  • you want fast, tiny-footprint update checking without pulling large docker images
  • you're hitting registry rate limits with other update checkers
  • you only need update visibility, not automatic container updates or triggering integrations
  • you want a simple CLI plus an optional web dashboard with JSON API

When to avoid

  • you need automatic container updates or direct integration triggering (use Watchtower or What's up Docker)
  • you need a mature feature-complete tool with extensive ecosystem support
  • you don't run Docker or Podman containers
