docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

// DONE!
// Lastly, the way the docker compose file is set up, it forwards 8732 (tezos client) and 
// 9732 (allows others to connect to your node) ports. What you may want to do is remove those lines
// in the docker compose if you don't want to allow others to connect to your node. Another option
// is use iptables(or AWS security policy if AWS) to block those ports on your server.



//
// ** THE FOLLOWING ARE JUST HELPFUL DOCKER COMMANDS **
//

// check if the container is running and get the name of the container
docker ps

// use this to monitor the node's logs
docker logs -f <USERNAME>_node_1

// turn off the container/node
docker-compose down

// "/var/lib/docker/volumes/" is where your node and client data lives on your server

// run a command on the docker
docker exec -it <USERNAME>_node_1 <COMMAND IN THE CONTAINER>
// examples:
docker exec -it <USERNAME>_node_1 sh // runs a prompt in the container
docker exec -it <USERNAME>_node_1 tezos-admin-client p2p stat
docker exec -it <USERNAME>_node_1 tezos-client rpc get /chains/main/blocks/head

// Remove node data
docker volume rm <USERNAME>_node_data

// Storage Upgrade, this will upgrade the storage version (Athens upgrade), this also requires the "upgrader" service
// in the docker_compose.yml
docker-compose pull && docker-compose up upgrader
