Image Sitter

Programs to take care of your container images. It helps to ensure you have an up to date local cache of the docker images that are frequently used.

Introduction

By maintaining the docker url in several files, categorize into groups, and 3 predefined subgroups, which are 'pull-always', 'pull-if-not-exists', and 'delete-if-exists'. image-sitter programs will do the necessary pull or delete when they are triggered.

Format of files

• Each line of a file is a docker url, such as: nginx:latest.
• lines started with # will be ignored.
• blank lines will also be ignored.

Commands

image-sitter-init group
image-sitter group [group ...]
image-sitter-pull-always group [group ...]
image-sitter-pull-if-not-exists group [group ...]
image-sitter-delete-if-exists group [group ...]
