   Mastodon nerds help me out. Someone wants me to update a web site running in docker.

   I have never used docker I am assuming I need to update the image that is running with the latest code?

     @alex that looks good.

     Is it really this bloody complicated?

     Can't a brother just change some files?

     @selzero yes.

     You could use something like Swarmpit for that, if you wanted to.

     (I thought of Portainer, but they shove ads at you now.)

     @selzero Is the container that hosts the website just out of date? Or do they want you to make changes to the existing website without pulling a newer version of the container?

     I like using compose - so there's a yaml file with all the container build info

     So if the container just needs to be updated:
     In the folder with the compose.yaml
     sudo docker-compose down
     sudo docker-compose pull
     sudo docker-compose up

     The container is now uupdated

     @mmeese this sounds interesting. I'm investigating myself. How do I find out if it's just mapped to local files?

     @selzero Depends on how it is set up and what’s running in the docker container or containers. It is possible for example to have in the container just the apache/nginx and database, while the docroot with the website is a folder on the host mapped into the container. So you could in theory just change stuff in that mapped folder on the host. Or the whole lot is a custom build docker image.

     Can you share some more information? Is there a docker-compare.yml and or a Dockerfile?
