Why this helps
Stale tags accumulate because cleanup requests require a separate confirmation loop.
- Adds a clear approval checkpoint
- Reduces stale tag clutter
- Keeps cleanup history in Slack
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Docker Hub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Approved tag cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to delete only the Docker Hub tag and repository explicitly named in an approved Slack message.
- 4Pick message reaction added as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test it with a disposable tag and the chosen approval reaction.
