Add Container Version Sync Check

Add Container Version Sync Check

Add a pre-commit check that validates version consistency across the three places container versions are declared: Dockerfile ARGs, service-versions.yaml, and nix derivations. No VERSION files needed — the existing sources are the source of truth, and the check enforces they agree.

Context

Discovered during analysis of adopt-commit-based-container-tags: the new commit-SHA-based image tags need a reliable version source (vX.Y.Z-<sha>). Versions are currently scattered across Dockerfile ARGs (varying naming conventions), service-versions.yaml entries (many still null), and nix derivations (implicit from nixpkgs). A sync check ensures these stay consistent without adding a redundant fourth source.

What Was Done

1. Created mise run container-version-check task

A typer-based uv-script that iterates over containers/*/ and validates five rules per container:

  1. Any Dockerfile must declare ARG CONTAINER_APP_VERSION=<value>
  2. Any default.nix must produce a version via dagger call nix-version
  3. At least one build file must exist (Dockerfile or default.nix)
  4. A matching service-versions.yaml entry must exist with non-null current-version
  5. All resolved versions from (1), (2), and (4) must agree (v-prefix stripped for comparison)

Scoping: by default only checks containers changed vs main. --all-files checks everything. If service-versions.yaml itself changed, all containers are checked.

Blacklisted containers (utility images, not tracked services): kubectl, nettest.

Container-to-service name mapping: quartz → docs, kiwix-serve → kiwix.

2. Added pre-commit hook

- id: container-version-check
  name: container-version-check
  entry: mise run container-version-check
  language: system
  files: ^(containers/|service-versions\.yaml)
  pass_filenames: false

3. Populated service-versions.yaml

Filled in current-version for all hybrid services: navidrome (v0.60.3), miniflux (2.2.17), teslamate (v2.2.0), transmission (4.0.6-r4), kiwix (3.8.1), forgejo-runner (0.19.11). Added authentik (2025.10.1) as a new hybrid entry.

ntfy nix version skew (resolved)

The check discovered that ntfy’s Dockerfile pins v2.17.0 but nixpkgs has ntfy-sh 2.15.0. This was resolved in fix-ntfy-nix-version by building a custom nix derivation from the forge mirror. The version check now extracts the version from local nix files via regex, falling back to Dagger for unmodified nixpkgs packages.

Verification

  • mise run container-version-check --all-files passes with no errors
  • Intentionally changing a Dockerfile ARG without updating service-versions.yaml fails the check
  • service-versions.yaml has current-version populated for all hybrid services
  • Nix-only container versions (authentik) checked via Dagger
  • ntfy nix version resolved via fix-ntfy-nix-version
