You can use Watchtower to watch for updates to the image a container is instantiated from and automatically pull the update and restart the container using the updated image. However, that doesn't solve the problem of rebuilding your own custom images when there's a change to the upstream image it's based on. You could view this as a two-part problem: (1) knowing when an upstream image has been updated, and (2) doing the actual image rebuild. (1) can be solved fairly easily, but (2) depends a lot on your local build environment/practices, so it's probably much harder to create a generalized solution for that.

If you're able to use Docker Hub's automated builds, the whole problem can be solved relatively cleanly using the repository links feature, which lets you trigger a rebuild automatically when a linked repository (probably an upstream one) is updated. You can also configure a webhook to notify you when an automated build occurs. If you want an email or SMS notification, you could connect the webhook to IFTTT Maker. I found the IFTTT user interface to be kind of confusing, but you would configure the Docker webhook to post to https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/`docker_xyz_image_built`/with/key/`your_key`.

如果你需要在本地构建，你至少可以通过在Docker Hub中创建一个连接到你感兴趣的repo的虚拟repo来解决上游映像更新时收到通知的问题。虚拟回购的唯一目的是在重新构建时触发一个webhook(这意味着它的一个链接回购被更新)。如果你能收到这个webhook，你甚至可以用它来触发你这边的重建。

你试过这个吗:https://github.com/v2tec/watchtower。 它是一个简单的工具，运行在docker容器中，监视其他容器，如果它们的基本映像改变了，它将拉出并重新部署。

Docker映像的依赖管理是一个真正的问题。我所在的团队开发了一个名为MicroBadger的工具，通过监视容器图像和检查元数据来帮助解决这个问题。它的功能之一是让你设置一个通知网络钩子，当你感兴趣的图像(例如基本图像)发生变化时，它会被调用。

一种“docker方式”是使用docker hub自动构建。当上游容器被重建时，Repository Links特性将重建你的容器，Webhooks特性将向你发送通知。

看起来webhooks仅限于HTTP POST调用。您需要设置一个服务来捕获它们，或者可能使用其中一个POST发送电子邮件服务。

我还没有深入研究，但是新的Docker通用控制平面可能有一个检测更新容器和重新部署的功能。

我不打算讨论您是否希望在生产中进行无人值守的更新(我认为不需要)。我只是把这个留在这里作为参考，以防有人觉得有用。在终端中使用以下命令将所有docker映像更新到最新版本:

# docker images | awk '(NR>1) && ($2!~/none/) {print $1":"$2}' | xargs -L1 docker pull

下面是一种自动更新docker容器的最简单方法

通过$ crontab -e放置作业:

0 * * * * sh ~/.docker/cron.sh

创建目录~/。Docker与文件cron.sh:

#!/bin/sh
if grep -Fqe "Image is up to date" << EOF
`docker pull ubuntu:latest`
EOF
then
    echo "no update, just do cleaning"
    docker system prune --force
else
    echo "newest exist, recompose!"
    cd /path/to/your/compose/file
    docker-compose down --volumes
    docker-compose up -d
fi
