% Installation Guide

**As of 2022, I recommend everyone to use Docker Hub images. Those are generated through a proper CI/CD pipeline which involves basic unit tests and static code analysis. This means you're less likely to receive a broken image. You get no such guarantees when using git master branch. You won't be able to easily rollback to an earlier image either.**

Docker(-compose) is the only supported way to deploy tt-rss.

### Static: uses pre-built images provided via Docker Hub ← recommended for users

This seems to be a more commonly used pattern for Docker containers: images (including a snapshot of tt-rss source code) are built automatically on master branch updates and - if build succeeds - pushed to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/cthulhoo). 

This is recommended for users.

Updates are handled the usual way. Either run `docker-compose pull` etc. when appropriate or use something like [Watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower) to apply updates automatically.

### Dynamic: uses git master branch ← for developers

Use this if you want to always run latest tt-rss code and/or don't want to rely on Docker Hub. Also, using dynamic image makes more sense [for development](https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/ttrss-docker-compose.wiki.git/tree/Home.md#how-do-i-use-dynamic-image-for-development).

Updates are applied automatically from git master branch on container restart.
