It doesn't matter if you upgrade Docker or not. All tech, self hosted or not, fails for three reasons:
1) You did something to it (changed a setting, upgraded software, etc.)
2) You didn't do something to it (change a setting, upgrade a software, etc.)
3) Just because.
When it does you get the wonderful "work-like" experience, frantically trying to troubleshoot while the things around your house are failing and your family is giving you looks for it.
Self host but be aware that there's a tradeoff. The work that used to be done by someone else, somewhere else, before issues hit you is now done by you alone.

Coincidentally, I just decided to tackle this issue again on my Sunday afternoon: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-firewall/pull/114 https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-firewall/pull/11... Sometimes it's not fun anymore.
