A script checking updates for docker images without pulling
Then selectively auto-update containers.
With features like excluding specific containers, filter by name, auto-prune dangling images and more.
### :pushpin: Recent changes:

## `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.
-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.
### `-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.
- 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.
