# Dependency graph
requires:
- phase: 03-01-basic-actions
provides: Container lifecycle API patterns, fuzzy matching, action routing structure
provides:
- Container update command (pull new image + recreate)
- Image digest comparison for change detection
- Silent no-update behavior
- Container config preservation during recreation
affects: [04-logs, 05-polish]
# Tech tracking
tech-stack:
added: []
patterns:
- "Image pull via POST /images/create?fromImage=X"
- "Image digest comparison for update detection"
- "Container config extraction from inspect endpoint"
- "NetworkingConfig preservation from NetworkSettings"
key-files:
created: []
modified:
- n8n-workflow.json
key-decisions:
- "Silent when no update available - only notify on actual image change"
- "Single container match only for update - no batch updates"
- "Version detection from OCI labels with ID fallback"
- "Preserve Hostname/Domainname removal during container recreation"
patterns-established:
- "Multi-step container operations: inspect -> modify -> recreate"
- "Image version extraction from org.opencontainers.image.version or version labels"
- "Sequential container lifecycle: stop -> remove -> create -> start"

# Phase 03 Plan 04: Container Update Action Summary
**Container update workflow with image pull, digest comparison, and config-preserving recreation with version change reporting**
## Performance
- **Duration:** 8 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-30T18:24:33Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-30T18:33:00Z
- **Tasks:** 3
- **Files modified:** 1
## Accomplishments
- Update command routing with single-match-only requirement
- Image pull and digest comparison for detecting actual updates
- Container recreation preserving all configuration (Config, HostConfig, Networks)
- Version change display from image labels or ID substring
- Silent behavior when image already up-to-date
## Task Commits
All three tasks were implemented together (continuation of interrupted session):
1. **Tasks 1-3: Complete update workflow** - `04321c1` (feat)
- Update command routing and container matching
- Image pull and change detection
- Container recreation workflow
## Files Created/Modified
- `n8n-workflow.json` - Extended with 29 new nodes for update flow:
- Parse Update Command, Docker List for Update, Match Update Container
- Check Update Match Count, Handle Update Multiple, Send Update Error/No Match/Multiple
- Build Inspect Command, Inspect Container, Parse Container Config
- Build Pull Command, Pull Image, Build Image Inspect, Inspect New Image
- Compare Digests, Check If Update Needed
- Build Stop Command, Stop Container, Verify Stop Build Remove
- Remove Container, Build Create Body, Build Create Command
- Create Container, Parse Create Response
- Build Start Command, Start New Container
- Format Update Result, Send Update Result
## Decisions Made
- **Silent on no-update:** When image digest hasn't changed, send no message (per CONTEXT.md)
- **Single match only:** Update command requires exact container name; multiple matches show disambiguation message
- **Version detection hierarchy:** Check org.opencontainers.image.version label, then version label, then use image ID substring
- **NetworkingConfig preservation:** Extract from NetworkSettings.Networks with IPAMConfig, Links, and Aliases
## Deviations from Plan
None - plan executed exactly as written.
## Issues Encountered
- Session was interrupted during initial execution (rate limit)
- Nodes were created but connections were missing
- Connections were added to complete the workflow wiring
- All work committed as single comprehensive commit
## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.
## Next Phase Readiness
- All container actions complete (start, stop, restart, update)
- Phase 03 fully complete
- Ready for Phase 04: Logs & Intelligence
