Auto-update JetBrains YouTrack Docker containers

YouTrack Docker Updater

A CLI tool that checks for new JetBrains YouTrack Docker image versions and automatically updates a running instance managed via Docker Compose.

The tool:

• Reads the current YouTrack version from docker-compose.yml
• Compares it with the latest available Docker image tag
• Pre-pulls the new image to minimize downtime
• Updates docker-compose.yml and restarts the service
