Feature Request: Docker auto-update

I tried searching for whether this had been requested but couldn’t find it …

Is it possible/can the feature be requested please to auto update a docker container running the official plexinc/pms-docker image? The official docker image currently handily updates automatically to the latest plex pms version on start-up but does not auto-update in the future if new versions come available.

It would be good if the official docker container contained an environment variable “AUTO_UPDATE=true” or similar which could be set such that the container would monitor at a certain time whether there is a new plex version available and (even better if there is no-one on the server at the time), auto-restart the container to pull the latest image.

This functionality is already present in the external plexupdate script (https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate) but this does not work with docker currently - The functionality could be replicated in the official plexinc/pms-docker image, especially since that image already uses a docker healthcheck - The docker healthcheck could be changed to also do an update check and, if no-one on the server, mark the container as “Unhealthy” - This would then be caught by the docker engine which would auto-restart the container and perform the update to the latest version?

Thanks!
