How can I update my RocketChat while running in Docker?

[tuliobaars]

I've just deployed Rocket Chat inside a docker container, it's up and running. I'm having a problem figuring out on how to detect and update the software. This is my first time using docker.

@tuliobaars It will depend on which image you used to deploy in docker. rocket.chat image? rocketchat/rocket.chat image? or other?

Really, you should just need to do a docker pull of the image you deployed, and then recreate the container. However as that's a bit of a pain, I have an alternative.

The solution I've chosen is to leverage the rocketchat/rocket.chat image, and a docker-compose.yml script. I've put them up in a gist for you to modify and use as you see fit:

@Morgul very interesting.

Do you mind taking over this , https://github.com/RocketChat/Deploy.to.Cloud/tree/master/GenericLinux

... and perhaps add an 'update' operation ...

[Morgul]

@Sing-Li No, I wouldn't mind at all. An update operation should be pretty straightforward.

@Morgul Awesome! Please go ahead and submit a PR.

Thanks in advance for your help (feel free to mod the base scripts to something more useful). Pierre, the original author, is actually a hoster - so those scripts were prepared with automated hosting in mind. Also, please feel free to mod the doc. TA

@tuliobaars were you able to get it updated?
