I had the honor of writing an article at selfh.st - and as mentioned there a new version has slowly been in the works for a few weeks and is now released!

The release brings the new option -b N (or config BackupForDays=N) which enables backups and removes backups older then N days. The backups will be handled per container image and will be created (by retagging) just before pulling a new version.

This provide an easy way to roll back to previous image if a new update breaks.

It have been a while since I posted any news so here’s the last 6 months in brief:

  • Snooze function to notifications.
  • Added a function to print what files are sourced.
  • Home Assistant notification template added.
  • Improved search filtering eg. dockccheck -yp homer,dozzle.
  • More advanced control of notifications, multiple notification templates etc.
  • Label reworks
  • Option -R to skip recreation - to allow to only pull updates without applying.
  • Plus a bunch of bugfixes.

Thanks to this community dockcheck keeps evolving! More features, more control, better handling. I’m so grateful that people give feedback and suggestions and help testing things.
