Working with Docker
Showing Container Status
docker compose ps
This command is similar to the unix ps command.
Seeing container logs
If your container doesn’t start up properly, e.g. keeps rebooting, you can see its log to find out what’s wrong.
docker compose logs zigbee2mqtt
For more options:
docker compose logs --help
Stopping/Starting a Container
docker compose [start|stop|restart] <containername>
# for example
docker compose stop openhab
# To stop all containers listed in your compose.yml file;
docker compose stop
# to restart
docker compose restart openhab
Updating Container Version
Because in the example, all the images are set to :latest, you can upgrade them by issuing the following command:
# Upgrade openhab to the latest stable version
docker compose pull openhab
# After upgrading, reload must be done.
docker compose up -d openhab
The same can be done for mosquitto / other containers.
Making Changes to compose.yml
If you modified the docker-compose.yaml file, run docker compose up -d to reload the changes. Simply restarting the docker container won’t read the new changes.
Downgrading To an Older / Specific Version
To downgrade openHAB to version 4.3.1 instead of the latest stable version, edit compose.yml, comment the :latest line and add:
# image: openhab/openhab:latest
image: openhab/openhab:4.3.1
# other options:
# image: openhab/openhab:snapshot
# image: openhab/openhab:milestone
Then do:
docker compose up -d openhab
To upgrade back to the latest (or any other) version, simply edit the image: line accordingly and run the docker compose up -d openhab again.
