CONTAINER-UPDATE(1)

💅 CONTAINER-UPDATE(1) — the group chat version

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual for container-update, which lives in the compute-tools family. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get you fluent. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

container-update — update the packages installed in a container 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

container update ['OPTIONS']
cnt u ['OPTIONS']

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two ways in, same energy. 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

the container update command updates packages installed in a container. literally that's the job. it goes in, it updates the packages, it comes back. main character behavior fr fr.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the full menu, no skips, no cuts, every single one is here:

• -n, --name='NAME' — say which container you mean. and listen, if you pass 'ALL' it will start all stopped container. yes, all of them. iconic. 👑
• -f, --full-upgrade — runs an additional apt full-upgrade after apt upgrade. so it's the upgrade plus the upgrade upgrade. obsessed.
• -i, --interactive — prompts you before every container update. it will literally ask you first, every time, like a polite lil bestie. 🙈
• -r, --autoremove — runs an additional apt autoremove after apt upgrade. bye bye to the leftovers. 💀
• -p, --purge — passes --purge to apt autoremove. so those leftovers? gone gone, configs and all.
• -y|--yes — passes yes to all questions asked by the package manager. zero questions, zero waiting, pure momentum. 🔥

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

these are the moments, bestie. copy them exactly, don't freestyle the flags:

update the example.net container (that's apt update && apt upgrade):

sudo container update -n example.net

update example.net without asking questions (that's apt update && apt --yes upgrade):

sudo container update -n example.net -y

full update of example.net without asking questions (that's apt update && apt --yes upgrade && apt --yes full-upgrade):

sudo container update -n example.net -f -y

full update of all container on the host, with asking questions and purging unused packages (that's apt update && apt upgrade && apt full-upgrade && apt autoremove):

sudo container update -n ALL -f -r -p -y

note the ALL in that last one — capital letters, bestie. that's the magic word for every container on the host. ✨
