# Docker Compose Ops (dc-ops)

`dc-ops` is a shell script designed to operations automate the local building and updating of several Docker services.
It aims to simplify continuous delivery (CD) processes and infrastructure management in a Docker environment. 

## How does it work?

* The script iterates through each line of the `stacklist` file (skipping comments) or through all cli parameters
* It fetches the latest changes from the remote git repository and checks if there are new commits
* If there is a change it pulls the updates from the remote git repository, otherwise the entry is skipped
* Following this, it runs `docker compose up` which builds, (re)creates and starts the containers

The `stacklist` file can list either a directory containing a `docker-compose.yml` file or a precise `docker-compose` file (see `stacklist.example`).
Alternatively, the stacklist can also be passed as a list of parameters.

## Usage

* `./dc-ops /path/to/repo /path/to/another-repo /path/with/docker-compose-dev.yml` or
* Update `stacklist` file and run `./dc-ops` (or create a crontab entry)
