About:
Dockcheck is a CLI utility that detects outdated Docker images by querying registries for newer tags. It automates the update process by generating and executing docker pull and container restart commands. This tool helps maintain security and stability by streamlining container updates without manual intervention.

Key Features:

Automated detection of outdated Docker images
Supports multiple container runtimes (Docker, Podman)
Generates ready-to-run update commands
Configurable notification system
Dry-run mode for safe testing

Use Cases:

Automating routine container updates on production servers
Monitoring container image freshness across multiple hosts
Streamlining CI/CD pipeline container maintenance

Alternatives:

watchtower – Watchtower runs as a container to auto-update others, while dockcheck is a CLI tool for manual or scripted execution
regctl – regclient provides low-level registry operations, dockcheck uses it to build higher-level update workflows
