Hands Off Updating Docker Containers

#linux  #docker  #hosting 

In this article I want to paste a code snippet which is checking it’s filtered subfolders for docker-compose files and pulls and ups automagically.

Here it is!

#!/bin/bash

# our docker base folder
DOCKER_BASE_DIR="/home/user/docker"
# folders to exclude from udpate
DIRS_TO_EXCLUDE=("code" "snacklish" "nginx-proxy" "psono")
# docker-compose binary location
DC=$(which docker-compose)

cd ${DOCKER_BASE_DIR}
for D in *; do
    # if is directory and not excluded
    if ([ -d "${D}" ] && [[ ! " ${DIRS_TO_EXCLUDE[@]} " =~ " ${D} " ]]); then
        cd ${D}
        echo "I am in $(pwd)"
        if [ -f "./docker-compose.yaml" ]; then
            echo "I found a docker-compose.yaml, updating ..."
            ${DC} pull && ${DC} up -d && cd ..
        else
            echo "No docker-compose.yaml found, stepping back"
            cd ..
        fi
    fi
done

Oriented on Selenium acceptance tests, I have designed the output to be as readable and as debuggable as possible.

SMART

#hdd  #linux  #SMART  #ssd 

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology is a system for monitoring and recognizing errors of storage media like Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Solid State Disks (SSD).

All HDDs and SSDs (refered to as HDD in the following) have SMART functionality while some external drive cases do NOT support reading SMART values from the HDD directly.

Since SMART is not a standardised procedure or well-defined value collection, these values differ greatly between manufacturers and might indicate death for some hard drives while others do not even show or update said values.
