Docker Auto-Update

This is a tool that helps you keeping your Docker images and containers up-to-date. It basically consists of three files:

• /etc/cron.daily/docker-updater is the main script. Placed in /etc/cron.daily it will regularly check for updates of your images.
• /etc/default/docker-updater configures the update tool. The /etc/cron.daily/docker-updater will use this as a setup. At least you need to set the ENABLED variable to 1, otherwise the update tool won't run.
• /etc/docker-compose-auto-update.conf lists Docker Compose environments. Add the paths to the docker-compose.yml files on your system, one per line. It will be read by the /etc/cron.daily/docker-updater script and containers will be updated automatically.

You'll find more information on the Docker Auto-Update tool in my blog.

Installation

To install the Docker Auto-Update tool, you may clone the repository at GitHub. Then,

1. move the ./etc/cron.daily/docker-updater script to /etc/cron.daily/docker-updater
2. move the ./etc/default/docker-updater config file to /etc/default/docker-updater
3. update the setup in /etc/default/docker-updater -- at least set ENABLED=1
4. create a list of Docker Compose config files in /etc/docker-compose-auto-update.conf - one path to a docker-compose.yml per line.

If you're running a Debian-based system, you may instead use my apt-repository to install the Docker-Tools. In that case you just need to run

aptitude install bf-docker-tools

Afterwards, configure /etc/default/docker-updater and at least set ENABLED=1. This way, you'll always stay up-to-date with bug fixes and new features :)
