Fuck my fucking life, I’m a goddamn fool. I’ve been doing too much when it comes to updating docker containers. It turns out there is a better way. What is this “better way”, you ask? Here goes.

# docker compose pull
# docker compose up -d

Boom. You don’t even have to stop the containers. You run those two commands and your shit will be updated and running with the new update real fuckin quick. It’s kinda awesome and I wish I weren’t such a moron so that I could’ve known that right away. Alas, I only learned this recently. Still though, better late than never.

But god damn I am a moron.
