# Docker startup helper scripts 

`startup.sh` brings containers up/down or pulls images with `docker compose`.
The script looks for an environment variable named as per the hostname of the machine
containing a list with absolute paths to `docker-compose.yml` files.
Those variables can be defined in `.env`. 

`container-startup.service` is a one-shot systemd service which runs `startup.sh up` after boot.
Stop and restart are explicitly not part of the service as those actions are
[handled by the docker daemon](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/start-containers-automatically/).

To install the service run:
```
cp .env.template .env
# add a variable named as per the hostname of the machine
# with the list of your docker-compose.yml files
vi .env
cp container-startup.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl enable container-startup.service
```
