## `dockcheck.sh`
```
$ ./dockcheck.sh -h
 Syntax:     dockcheck.sh [OPTION] [part of name to filter] 
 Example:    dockcheck.sh -y -d 10 -e nextcloud,heimdall
 
 Options:
 -h     Print this Help.
 -a|y   Automatic updates, without interaction.
 -n     No updates, only checking availability.
 -e X   Exclude containers, separated by comma.
 -d N   Only update to new images that are N+ days old. Lists too recent with +prefix. 2xSlower.
 -p     Auto-Prune dangling images after update.
 -r     Allow updating images for docker run, wont update the container.
 -s     Include stopped containers in the check. (Logic: docker ps -a).
```

Basic example:
```
$ ./dockcheck.sh
. . .
Containers on latest version:
glances
homer

Containers with updates available:
1) adguardhome
2) syncthing
3) whoogle-search

Choose what containers to update:
Enter number(s) separated by comma, [a] for all - [q] to quit:
```
Then it proceedes to run `pull` and `up -d` on every container with updates.   
After the updates are complete, you'll get prompted if you'd like to prune dangling images.

### :loudspeaker: Notifications

Use a `notify_X.sh` template file, copy it to `notify.sh`, modify it to your needs!   
Current templates:
- Synology [DSM](https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm)
- Email with [sSMTP](https://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP)  
- Apprise - both [native](https://github.com/caronc/apprise) and [API](https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api) (with it's [multitude](https://github.com/caronc/apprise#supported-notifications) of notifications)


Further additions are welcome - suggestions or PR!   
Initiated and first contributed by [yoyoma2](https://github.com/yoyoma2).  

### :warning: `-r flag` disclaimer and warning
**Wont auto-update the containers, only their images. (compose is recommended)**   
`docker run` dont support using new images just by restarting a container.  
Containers need to be manually stopped, removed and created again to run on the new image.

### :hammer: Known issues
- No detailed error feedback (just skip + list what's skipped).
- Not respecting `--profile` options when re-creating the container.
- Not working well with containers created by Portainer.

## `dc_brief.sh`
Just a brief, slimmed down version of the script to only print what containers got updates, no updates or errors.
