Update Script: Recreate All Services

Location: /mnt/pool01/homelab/services/scripts/recreate-all.sh

Once the latest Docker images have been downloaded to the host (via the Pull All script), this script handles the actual deployment. It gracefully stops the outdated containers and spins up fresh ones using the new images.

Run the script from terminal:

cd /mnt/pool01/homelab/services/scripts
./recreate-all.sh

Notes

  • Fail-Safe Execution (set -e): Immediate exit if any command fails. If a compose.yml file has a syntax error, the script halts instantly.

  • Modular Pathing: Base directories ($GATEWAY, $OPS, $MEDIA) are defined at the top as variables, making the script easily maintainable if our folder structures change.

  • Auto-Cleanup: The script concludes with docker image prune -f to automatically delete old, orphaned image layers, preventing the host SSD from filling up over time.

Expected Downtime

Running this script will cause temporary downtime for our services. Each container will be taken offline for a few seconds while it is replaced with the newly updated version. It is recommended to run this during off-peak hours!
