Notification about updates

[aronmolnar]

Currently, self-hosted installations need to be not only updated manually, users also need to check manually if there are updates available.

We might want to introduce a workflow (probably in our GitLab CI pipeline) that creates update notifications in the SysReptor UI automatically to inform users that a new update is available.

Just a random idea:

It would be cool to have the docker images already built (hosted on Dockerhub, Github, self hosted registry,... ): that would allow a better integration with tools like Renovate, Watchtower, or maybe Dependabot (never used so not sure).

Maybe there is a technical reason which requires a manual build, I didn't check, it is just an idea

Thanks for this suggestion. We also have this on our roadmap, but we've had reservations regarding licensing so far.
We need to have to evaluate this in more detail.
