Searching for updates to official docker images fails

[jshridha]

This is an issue that I've had since I first started using the docker system in unraid about a year ago, so it's not a new bug caused in any new releases. The script that searches docker image updates fails on all official images. I think the issue is these images don't follow the /: convention and instead only have :. The official images I'm currently using are mysql, owncloud, sentry, postgres, and redis images.

I believe this bug also contributes to these issues I'm having:

• Docker update notifications never go out unless the "Check for Updates" button is manually pressed.
• The cron job fails checking for updates.

I'm happy to help debug this issue any way I can even if its just simply, "Hey, try this version out".

Jay, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. The image name convention ( /: vs : ) is in fact the problem. Luckily this seems like it'll be easy to fix 👍

I'll report back when I have a fix ready.

@eschultz Thanks a lot! As a sidenote, I started using using centurylink watchtower today to keep dockers automatically updated. It's working great! I especially love how it figures out which dockers are linked to which dockers and restarts them all in the correct order.

Switching to watchtower is probably a discussion for a different forum then this one, but I just wanted to let you know about it.
