## `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!

### :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 <
