version bump + readme

* Add DisplaySourcedFiles variable to be used in source_if_exists and source_if_exists_or_fail functions
* Added return 0 as to not throw wrong exit code.
* Delete source_if_exists. source_if_exists_or_fail returns success or failure. Failure doesn't stop the script

-## Special Thanks:
-- :bison: [t0rnis](https://github.com/t0rnis)   
-- :leopard: [Palleri](https://github.com/Palleri)
+## :tent: Install Instructions
+Download the script to a directory in **PATH**, I'd suggest using `~/.local/bin` as that's usually in **PATH**.  
+For OSX/macOS preferably use `/usr/local/bin`.
+```sh
+# basic example with curl:
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mag37/dockcheck/main/dockcheck.sh -o ~/.local/bin/dockcheck.sh
+chmod +x ~/.local/bin/dockcheck.sh
+
+# or oneliner with wget:
+wget -O ~/.local/bin/dockcheck.sh "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mag37/dockcheck/main/dockcheck.sh" && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/dockcheck.sh
+
+# OSX or macOS version with curl:
+ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mag37/dockcheck/main/dockcheck.sh -o /usr/local/bin/dockcheck.sh && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dockcheck.sh
+```
+Then call the script anywhere with just `dockcheck.sh`.
+Add preferred `notify.sh`-template to the same directory - this will not be touched by the scripts self-update function.
+
+## :handbag: Configuration
+To modify settings and have them persist through updates - copy the `default.config` to `dockcheck.config` alongside the script or in `~/.config/`.  
+Alternatively create an alias where specific flags and values are set.  
+Example `alias dc=dockcheck.sh -p -x 10 -t 3`.
+
+## :loudspeaker: Notifications
+Trigger with the `-i` flag.
+If `notify.sh` is present and configured, it will be used. Otherwise, `notify_v2.sh` will be enabled.
+Will send a list of containers with updates available and a notification when `dockcheck.sh` itself has an update.
+Run it scheduled with `-ni` to only get notified when there's updates available!
+
+#### Installation and configuration:
+Make certain your project directory is laid out as below. You only need the notify_v2.sh file and any notification templates you wish to enable, but there is no harm in having all of them present.
+```
+ .
+├── notify_templates/
+│   ├── notify_DSM.sh
+│   ├── notify_apprise.sh
+│   ├── notify_discord.sh
+│   ├── notify_generic.sh
+│   ├── notify_gotify.sh
+│   ├── notify_matrix.sh
+│   ├── notify_ntfy.sh
+│   ├── notify_pushbullet.sh
+│   ├── notify_pushover.sh
+│   ├── notify_slack.sh
+│   ├── notify_smtp.sh
+│   ├── notify_telegram.sh
+│   └── notify_v2.sh
+├── dockcheck.config
+├── dockcheck.sh
+└── urls.list         # optional
+```
+Uncomment and set the NOTIFY_CHANNELS environment variable in `dockcheck.config` to a space separated string of your desired notification channels to enable.
+Uncomment and set the environment variables related to the enabled notification channels.  
+It is recommended to only edit the environmental variables in `dockcheck.config` and not make changes directly to the `notify_X.sh` template files within the `notify_templates` subdirectory.
+If you wish to customize the notify templates yourself, you may copy them to your project root directory alongside the main `dockcheck.sh` script (where they will also be ignored by git).
+Customizing `notify_v2.sh` is handled the same as customizing the templates, but it must be renamed to `notify.sh` within the `dockcheck.sh` root directory.
+
+
+#### Legacy installation and configuration:
+Use a previous version of a `notify_X.sh` template file (tag v0.6.4 or earlier) from the **notify_templates** directory,
+copy it to `notify.sh` alongside the script, modify it to your needs! (notify.sh is added to .gitignore)
+
+#### Snooze feature:
+**Use case:** You wish to be notified of available updates in a timely manner, but do not require reminders after the initial notification with the same frequency.
+e.g. *Dockcheck is scheduled to run every hour. You will receive an update notification within an hour of availability.*  
+**Snooze enabled:** you will not receive another notification about updates for this container for a configurable period of time.  
+**Snooze disabled:** you will receive additional notifications every hour.
+
+To enable snooze, uncomment the `SNOOZE_SECONDS` variable in your `dockcheck.config` file and set it to the number of seconds you wish to prevent duplicate alerts.
+The true snooze duration will be 60 seconds less than your configure value to account for minor scheduling or script run time issues.
+If an update becomes available for an item that is not snoozed, notifications will be sent and include all available updates for that item's category, even snoozed items.
+`dockcheck.sh` updates, notification template updates, and container updates are considered three separate categories.
+
+
+#### Current notify templates:
+- Synology [DSM](https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm)
+- Email with [mSMTP](https://wiki.debian.org/msmtp) (or deprecated alternative [sSMTP](https://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP))

+
+### :date: Release notes addon
+There's a function to use a lookup-file to add release note URL's to the notification message.  
+Copy the notify_templates/`urls.list` file to the script directory, it will be used automatically if it's there.  
+Modify it as necessary, the names of interest in the left column needs to match your container names.  
+To also list the URL's in the CLI output (choose containers list) use the `-I` option or variable config.  
+For Markdown formatting also add the `-M` option. (**this requires the template to be compatible - see gotify for example**)  
+
+The output of the notification will look something like this:
+```
+Containers on hostname with updates available:
+apprise-api  ->  https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-apprise-api/releases
+homer  ->  https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/releases
+nginx  ->  https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/blob/master/library/nginx
+...
+```
+The `urls.list` file is just an example and I'd gladly see that people contribute back when they add their preferred URLs to their lists.
+
+## :fast_forward: Asyncronous update checks with **xargs**; `-x N` option. (default=1)
+Pass `-x N` where N is number of subprocesses allowed, experiment in your environment to find a suitable max!  
+Change the default value by editing the `MaxAsync=N` variable in `dockcheck.sh`. To disable the subprocess function set `MaxAsync=0`.
+
+
+## :chart_with_upwards_trend: Extra plugins and tools:
+
+### :small_orange_diamond: Using dockcheck.sh with the Synology DSM
+If you run your container through the *Container Manager GUI* - only notifications are supported.  
+While if running manual (vanilla docker compose CLI) will allow you to use the update function too.  
+Some extra setup to tie together with Synology DSM - check out the [addons/DSM/README.md](./addons/DSM/README.md).
+
+### :small_orange_diamond: Prometheus and node_exporter
+Dockcheck can be used together with [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) and [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) to export metrics via the file collector, scheduled with cron or likely.
+This is done with the `-c` option, like this:
+```
+dockcheck.sh -c /path/to/exporter/directory
+```
+
+See the [README.md](./addons/prometheus/README.md) for more detailed information on how to set it up!  
+<sub><sup>Contributed by [tdralle](https://github.com/tdralle).</sup></sub>  
+
+### :small_orange_diamond: Zabbix config to monitor docker image updates
+If you already use Zabbix - this config will show numbers of available docker image updates on host.  
+Example: *2 Docker Image updates on host-xyz*  
+See project: [thetorminal/zabbix-docker-image-updates](https://github.com/thetorminal/zabbix-docker-image-updates)
+
+### :small_orange_diamond: Serve REST API to list all available updates
+A custom python script to serve a REST API to get pulled into other monitoring tools like [homepage](https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage).  
+See [discussion here](https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck/discussions/146).
+
+### :small_orange_diamond: Wrapper Script for Unraid's User Scripts
+A custom bash wrapper script to allow the usage of dockcheck as a Unraid User Script plugin.  
+See [discussion here](https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck/discussions/145).
+
+## :bookmark: Labels
+Optionally add labels to compose-files. Currently these are the usable labels:
+```
+    labels:
+      mag37.dockcheck.update: true
+      mag37.dockcheck.only-specific-container: true
+      mag37.dockcheck.restart-stack: true
+```
+- `mag37.dockcheck.update: true` will when used with the `-l` option only update containers with this label and skip the rest. Will still list updates as usual.
+- `mag37.dockcheck.only-specific-container: true` works instead of the `-F` option, specifying the updated container when doing compose up, like `docker compose up -d homer`.
+- `mag37.dockcheck.restart-stack: true` works instead of the `-f` option, forcing stop+restart on the whole compose-stack (Caution: Will restart on every updated container within stack).
+
+## :roller_coaster: Workaround for non **amd64** / **arm64**
+`regctl` provides binaries for amd64/arm64, to use on other architecture you could try this workaround.
+Run regctl in a container wrapped in a shell script. Copied from [regclient/docs/install.md](https://github.com/regclient/regclient/blob/main/docs/install.md):
+
+```sh
+cat >regctl <<EOF
+#!/bin/sh
+opts=""
+case "\$*" in
+  "registry login"*) opts="-t";;
+esac
+docker container run \$opts -i --rm --net host \\
+  -u "\$(id -u):\$(id -g)" -e HOME -v \$HOME:\$HOME \\
+  -v /etc/docker/certs.d:/etc/docker/certs.d:ro \\
+  ghcr.io/regclient/regctl:latest "\$@"
+EOF
+chmod 755 regctl
+```
+Test it with `./regctl --help` and then either add the file to the same path as *dockcheck.sh* or in your path (eg. `~/.local/bin/regctl`).
+
+## :whale: Docker Hub pull limit :chart_with_downwards_trend: not an issue for checks but for actual pulls
+Due to recent changes in [Docker Hub usage and limits](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/usage/)
+>Unauthenticated users: 10 pulls/hour  
+>Authenticated users with a free account: 100 pulls/hour
+
+This is not an issue for registry checks. But if you have a large stack and pull more than 10 updates at once consider updating more often or to create a free account.
+You could use/modify the login-wrapper function in the example below to automate the login prior to running `dockcheck.sh`.
+
+### :guardsman: Function to auth with docker hub before running
+**Example** - Change names, paths, and remove cat+password flag if you rather get prompted:
+```sh
+function dchk {
+  cat ~/pwd.txt | docker login --username YourUser --password-stdin
+  ~/dockcheck.sh "$@"
+}
+```
+
+## :warning: `-r flag` disclaimer and warning
+**Wont auto-update the containers, only their images. (compose is recommended)**  
+`docker run` dont support using new images just by restarting a container.  
+Containers need to be manually stopped, removed and created again to run on the new image.  
+Using the `-r` option together with eg. `-i` and `-n` to just check for updates and send notifications and not update is safe though!
+
+## :hammer: Known issues
+- No detailed error feedback (just skip + list what's skipped).
+- Not respecting `--profile` options when re-creating the container.
+- Not working well with containers created by **Portainer**.
+- **Watchtower** might cause issues due to retagging images when checking for updates (and thereby pulling new images).
+
+## :wrench: Debugging
+If you hit issues, you could check the output of the `extras/errorCheck.sh` script for clues.
+Another option is to run the main script with debugging in a subshell `bash -x dockcheck.sh` - if there's a particular container/image that's causing issues you can filter for just that through `bash -x dockcheck.sh nginx`.

+## Using Dockcheck in DSM
+Dockcheck cannot directly update containers managed in the Container Manager GUI, but it can still be used to notify you of containers with updates available. There are two ways to be notified, each with their own caveats:
+
+1. Enabling email notifications within the Task Scheduler (_step 6i below_) will send an email that includes the entire script as run. This will not include the `urls.list` links to release notes, but it will show a full list of containers checked, up to date, and needing updates (following the args included in the scheduled task).
+2. The [DSM notification template](https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck/blob/main/notify_templates/notify_DSM.sh) will enable Dockcheck to directly send an email when using the `-i` flag. This is most useful when paired with an accurate [urls.list](https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck/blob/next063/notify_templates/urls.list) file, and results in a neat succinct email notification of only containers to be updated.
+
+This is a user preference, and both notifications are not necessary. However, regardless of the notification method, it is necessary to set up a scheduled task to run Dockcheck at a set interval (otherwise it will only run when manually triggered).
+
+
+## Automate Dockcheck with DSM Task Scheduler:
+
+1. Open Control Panel and navigate to Task Scheduler
+2. Create a Scheduled Task > User-defined script
+3. Task Name: Dockcheck
+4. User: root
+5. Schedule: _User Preference_
+6. Task Settings:
+    1. ✔  Send run details by email (include preferred email) _This is the optional step as described above)_
+    2. User-defined script: `export HOME=/root && cd /path/to/dockcheck && ./dockcheck.sh -n -i -I ` _or other custom args_
+8. Click OK, accept warning message
+
+
+## Set up the DSM Notification template
+
+Copy the [dockcheck/notify_templates/notify_DSM.sh](https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck/blob/main/notify_templates/notify_DSM.sh) to the same directory as where you keep `dockcheck.sh`.  
+Use as is (uses your default notification email setting) or edit and override manually.

+Dockcheck is capable to export metrics to prometheus via the text file collector provided by the node_exporter.
+In order to do so the -c flag has to be specified followed by the file path that is configured in the text file collector of the node_exporter.
+A simple cron job can be configured to export these metrics on a regular interval as shown in the sample below:

+```
+# HELP dockcheck_images_analyzed Docker images that have been analyzed
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_analyzed gauge
+dockcheck_images_analyzed 22
+# HELP dockcheck_images_outdated Docker images that are outdated

+# A small guide on getting started with Apprise notifications.
+
+
+## Standalone docker container: [linuxserver/apprise-api](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/apprise-api)
+
+Set up the docker compose as preferred:
+```yaml
+---
+version: "2.1"
+services:
+  apprise-api:
+    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/apprise-api:latest
+    container_name: apprise-api
+    environment:
+      - PUID=1000
+      - PGID=1000
+      - TZ=Etc/UTC
+    volumes:
+      - /path/to/apprise-api/config:/config
+    ports:
+      - 8000:8000
+    restart: unless-stopped
+```
+
+Then browse to the webui.
+![](apprise-ex1.png)
+Here you'll click **Configuration Manager**, read the overview and then click on **Configuration**.
+Under **Configuration** you'll craft/paste your notification config.
+
+![](apprise-ex2.png)
+The simplest way is just paste the url's as is (like in the example above).  
+There are many ways to customize with tags, groups, json and more. Read [caronc/apprise-api](https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api) for more info!  
+
+Look at the [apprise wiki: Notification Services](https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki) for more info about how the url syntax for different services works.  
+
+
+You can also use the [caronc/apprise-api](https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api) to host the api as a frontend to an already existing **Apprise**-setup on the host.
+
+
+### Customize the **notify.sh** file.
+After you're done with the setup of the container and tried your notifications, you can copy the `notify_apprise.sh` file to `notify.sh` and start editing it.
+
+Comment out/remove the bare metal apprise-command (starting with `apprise -vv -t...`).
+Uncomment and edit the `AppriseURL` variable and *curl* line
+It should look something like this when curling the API:
+```bash
+send_notification() {
+Updates=("$@")
+UpdToString=$( printf "%s\n" "${Updates[@]}" )
+FromHost=$(hostname)
+
+printf "\nSending Apprise notification\n"
+
+MessageTitle="$FromHost - updates available."
+# Setting the MessageBody variable here.
+read -d '\n' MessageBody << __EOF
+Containers on $FromHost with updates available:
+
+$UpdToString
+
+__EOF
+
+AppriseURL="http://IP.or.mydomain.tld:8000/notify/apprise"
+curl -X POST -F "title=$MessageTitle" -F "body=$MessageBody" -F "tags=all" $AppriseURL
+
+}
+```
+
+That's all!
+___
+___
+
+
+## On host installed **Apprise**
+Follow the official guide on [caronc/apprise](https://github.com/caronc/apprise)!
+
+### A brief, basic "get started"
+
+- Install **apprise**
+    - python package `pip install apprise`
+    - packaged in EPEL/Fedora `dnf install apprise`
+    - packaged in AUR `[yay/pikaur/paru/other] apprise`
+
+- Create a config file with your notification credentials (source of notifications):
+```ini
+mailto://user:password@yahoo.com
+slack://token_a/token_b/token_c
+kodi://example.com
+```
+Then either source the notifications with `-c=/path/to/config/apprise` or store them in *PATH* to skip referencing (`~/.apprise` or `~/.config/apprise`).
+
+- Test apprise with a single notification:
+    - `apprise -vv -t 'test title' -b 'test notification body' 'mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com'`
+- Set up your notification URL's and test them.
+    - Look at the [apprise wiki: Notification Services](https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki) for more info about how the url syntax for different services works.  
+
+### When done, customize the **notify.sh** file.
+After you're done with the setup of the container and tried your notifications, you can copy the `notify_apprise.sh` file to `notify.sh` and start editing it.
+
+Replace the url's corresponding to the services you've configured.
+```bash
+send_notification() {
+Updates=("$@")
+UpdToString=$( printf "%s\n" "${Updates[@]}" )
+FromHost=$(hostname)
+
+printf "\nSending Apprise notification\n"
+
+MessageTitle="$FromHost - updates available."
+# Setting the MessageBody variable here.
+read -d '\n' MessageBody << __EOF
+Containers on $FromHost with updates available:
+
+$UpdToString
+
+__EOF
+
+# Modify to fit your setup:
+apprise -vv -t "$MessageTitle" -b "$MessageBody" \
+   mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com \
+   mastodons://{token}@{host} \
+   pbul://o.gn5kj6nfhv736I7jC3cj3QLRiyhgl98b \
+   tgram://{bot_token}/{chat_id}/
+
+}
+```
+
+That's all!
