## Description

PatchPanda is a self-hosted application that helps you keep Docker Compose stacks current. It discovers running compose projects, reads GitHub repository details from image labels or OCI annotations, and checks GitHub releases for newer versions. The UI presents release notes, flags breaking changes, and groups related services so they can be updated together. When you approve an update, the tool rewrites the relevant compose or .env files and runs the standard docker compose pull and up commands. Notifications can go to Discord or any Apprise target. Optional integrations include Portainer for managed stacks and Ollama-compatible LLMs for AI-generated summaries and security scanning of code diffs. Data lives in a SQLite database. The project is in beta; the authors advise testing before production use.
