Docker is notorious for completely breaking everything with their updates. They are also very intrusive about it, and make ignoring updates a paid feature.

This isn't just a "i don't want to update" issue. It's a "docker is terrible software and their business model is just as terrible".

Literally never had anything break due to upgrades in the ~7 years I've used docker (on Linux), but ok. Do you have any examples?

They renamed some packages a few times but no big deal, just uninstall the old ones and reinstall the new ones and everything's back up & running with all data kept. The worst thing was when they switched from aufs to overlay2 but that was years ago.

Countless examples of automatic updates borking installs on the github issue tracker.
