# dockcheck
Scripts and functions to check for docker updates for images, **without the need of pulling**. With the help of [`regctl`](https://github.com/regclient/regclient).
This is just a concept for fun and inspiration, use with care.
___

## Dependencies:
Running docker (duh) and compose, either standalone or plugin.   
`regctl` by [regclient](https://github.com/regclient/regclient)  
The script will ask to download `regctl` if it's not in PATH or current directory.

## `dockcheck.sh`
```bash
$ dockcheck.sh -h
Syntax:     dockcheck.sh [OPTION] [optional string to filter names]

Options:
-h     Print this Help.
-a     Automatic updates, without interaction.
-n     No updates, only checking availability.
```
A script to check all currently running containers if they've got updates without pulling images, list them and give the option to update.   
Basic example:
```bash
$ dockcheck.sh
. . .
Containers with updates available:
whoogle-search

Containers on latest version:
glances
homer

Do you want to update? y/[n]
y
```

And with `-n No updates` and `gl` for *gl* filtering:
```bash
$ dockcheck.sh -n gl
. . .
Containers with updates available:
whoogle-search

Containers on latest version:
glances

No updates installed, exiting
```
Then it proceedes to run `pull` and `up -d` on every container with updates.
