@marquiz I got an update from renovate to upgrade from v0.18.2 -> v0.18.3. That didn't work because the image could not be pulled. I see in your GitHub releases that you don't have a v0.18.3

So I think the image is missing in the release process?

UPDATE: Looking at it again. It seems you have tagged a release but not released it or something?

UPDATE2: I see the checklist in the top. It seems it is my renovate which just detects a new tag (where it should probably only detect a new release)
