## `dockcheck.sh`
```
$ ./dockcheck.sh -h
Syntax:     dockcheck.sh [OPTION] [part of name to filter]
Example:    dockcheck.sh -a -e nextcloud,heimdall

Options:
-h     Print this Help.
-a|y   Automatic updates, without interaction.
-n     No updates, only checking availability.
-e     Exclude containers, separated by comma.
-p     Auto-Prune dangling images after update.
-r     Allow updating images for docker run, wont update the container.
```

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.

### `-r flag` :warning: 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.

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