 All required environment variables for each notification channel are provided in the default.config file as comments and must be uncommented and modified for your requirements.

 `NOTIFY_CHANNELS` variable, eg `TELEGRAM_SKIPSNOOZE`)

- To bypass the snooze feature, even when enabled, add the variable `<channel>_SKIPSNOOZE` and set it to `true`.
- To configure the channel to only send container update notifications, add the variable `<channel>_CONTAINERSONLY` and set it to `true`.
- To send notifications even when there are no updates available, add the variable `<channel>_ALLOWEMPTY`  and set it to `true`.
- To use another notification output format, add the variable `<channel>_OUTPUT` and set it to `csv`, `json`, or `text`. If unset or set to an invalid value, defaults to `text`.

 - To send multiple notifications using the same notification template:
  - Strings in the `NOTIFY_CHANNELS` list are now treated as unique names and do not necessarily refer to the notification template that will be called, though they do by default.
  - Add another notification channel to `NOTIFY_CHANNELS` in `dockcheck.config`. The name can contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and underscores, but can't start with a number.
-  - Add the variable `<channel>_TEMPLATE` to `dockcheck.config` where `<channel>` is the name of the channel added above and set the value to an available notification template script (`slack`, `apprise`, `gotify`, etc.)
-  - Add all other environment variables required for the chosen template to function with `<channel>` in upper case as the prefix rather than the template name.
-    - For example, if `<channel>` is `mynotification` and the template configured is `slack`, you would need to set `MYNOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID` and `MYNOTIFICATION_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

 If configured for eg. 7 days, force earlier cleaning by just passing a lower number of days, eg. `-b 2` to clean everything older than 2 days.  
 Backed up images will not be removed if neither `-b` flag nor `BackupForDays` config variable is set.

+When backups are enabled, the `-p` auto-prune option is ignored to preserve backed up images.
+
 Use the capital option `-B` to list currently backed up images. Or list all images with `docker images`.  
 To manually remove any backed up images, do `docker rmi dockcheck/homer:2025-10-26_1132_latest`.
