Another few months have passed and thanks to a of user contributions and suggestions a bunch of changes got implemented, big and small.
The two latest changes have been pretty large:

  • Complete rewrite of notification logics
    • Configuration is set through the dockcheck.config
    • Templates used "untouched"
    • Possibility to trigger multiple notification templates through "channels"
  • Restructure the update process
    • First pulls all (selected) images
    • Then recreate all containers that received updates - to avoid unnecessary restarts and strain

https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck

Plenty more changes have been implemented since I posted last, such as:

  • Added a config-file to set user options (same as passing option flags).
  • Added option -u for unattended dockcheck self update (caution!).
  • Added option -I to print urls from url.list to list of containers with updates.
  • Cleaned up and refactored a lot of code;
    • Safer variables and pipefail options.
    • Consistent colorization of messages.
    • Monochrome mode hides progress bar.
    • Exits if pull or recreation of container fails.
  • Cleared up some readme with extra info;
    • Synology DSM
    • Prometheus + node_exporter
    • Zabbix config
    • Rest API script
    • Unraid wrapper script
  • Permission checks;
    • Graceful exit if no docker permissions.
    • pkg-manager installs handles sudo/doas/root properly.
  • Notify-templates; added slack, added markdown support to some templates.

I'm very happy to have a supportive and contributing user base who helps with troubleshooting, suggesting changes and contributing code. Thank you!
