dockcheck VS apprise

As someone who knows just enough about Docker to be able to scratch together a docker-compose.yml every now and again only to promptly forget all the commands I need to ever maintain them going forward, I'm eternally grateful that dockcheck.sh prompts me to do this as a final step whenever I run it.

I’m a simple man. I upgrade everything via dockcheck, verify that everything still works, and if not restore from backup!

And I've personally made a script to selectively auto-update containers, or just check status. With the option to filter or exclude specific containers. Find the project here: mag37/dockcheck

To "mass-check and mass-update" containers from the commandline, dockcheck is very light and useful. A simple dockcheck.sh -a -p for example would check all deployed containers for image updates and if there are any, pull them, then restart the container and at the end, cleanup unused images to free up diskspace. There is also a version with a web interface, DCW.

I haven’t gone the watchtower route, since I’d prefer to review changes myself (or let’s be honest - others’ reactions to the changes). Instead. I’ve been using a combo of diun and dockcheck (https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck ). Diun lets me know when containers have changed and dockcheck lets me cherry pick what I upgrade.

If you want to update images, try dockcheck or DCW.

- [a web service (you host)](https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api) that can act as a sidecar. This solution allows you to keep your notification configuration in one place instead of across multiple servers (or within multiple programs). This one is for both Admins and Devs.

A lot of systems have already adapted to it such as HomeAssistant, Apache Airflow, ChangeDetection, Uptime Kuma and many others (<https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/showcase#integrations>) which shows the commonality. Mailrise is an incredibly talented program that converts Emails sent to it to trigger notifications via Apprise.

*What else does it do?*

- Emoji Support (:rocket: -> ) built right into it!

I tried it and it was nice but ultimately I switched to apprise

While I'm sure of Gotify and ntfy.sh, I'm not sure if Apprise will do the needful because on its github page(https://github.com/caronc/apprise) it lists all the paid and free notification services for integration so I'm assuming it is just a library like the one I integrated for my django api (onesignal library).

Could you add apprise notifications?

I use mailrise which hosts a private SMTP gateway for Apprise notifications.

As a perhaps simpler alternative to send.sh and notify.sh commands, check out the Apprise integration. Apprise supports many notification channels, including Telegram.
