## Dependencies
- Running docker (duh) and compose, either standalone or plugin.   
- [`regclient/regctl`](https://github.com/regclient/regclient) (Licensed under [Apache-2.0 License](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0))   
  - User will be prompted to download `regctl` if not in `PATH` or `PWD`.   
  - regctl requires `amd64/arm64` - see [workaround](#workaround-for-non-amd64--arm64) if other architecture is used.

## `dockcheck.sh`
```
$ ./dockcheck.sh -h
 Syntax:     dockcheck.sh [OPTION] [part of name to filter]
 Example:    dockcheck.sh -y -d 10 -e nextcloud,heimdall
 
 Options:
 -a|y   Automatic updates, without interaction.
 -d N   Only update to new images that are N+ days old. Lists too recent with +prefix and age. 2xSlower.
 -e X   Exclude containers, separated by comma.
 -h     Print this Help.
 -i     Inform - send a preconfigured notification.
 -m     Monochrome mode, no printf color codes.
 -n     No updates, only checking availability.
 -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
Trigger with the `-i` flag.   
Run it scheduled with `-ni` to only get notified when there's updates available!  

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 (with it's [multitude](https://github.com/caronc/apprise#supported-notifications) of notifications)
  - both native [caronc/apprise](https://github.com/caronc/apprise) and the standalone [linuxserver/docker-apprise-api](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-apprise-api)

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.

### :roller_coaster: Workaround for non **amd64** / **arm64**
`regctl` provides binaries for amd64/arm64, to use on other architecture you could try this workaround.
Run regctl in a container wrapped in a shell script. Copied from [regclient/docs/install.md](https://github.com/regclient/regclient/blob/main/docs/install.md):

```sh
cat >regctl <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
opts=""
case "\$*" in
  "registry login"*) opts="-t";;
esac
docker container run \$opts -i --rm --net host \\
  -u "\$(id -u):\$(id -g)" -e HOME -v \$HOME:\$HOME \\
  -v /etc/docker/certs.d:/etc/docker/certs.d:ro \\
  ghcr.io/regclient/regctl:latest "\$@"
EOF
chmod 755 regctl
```
Test it with `./regctl --help` and then either add the file to the same path as *dockcheck.sh* or in your path (eg. `~/.local/bin/regctl`).


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