# Tips and Tricks

## Start Astro with all connectors

To start Astro with all connectors so they register them selves to the `connector-depot` run `astro start` with all the connector options. 

```
./astro.sh start :contentstack :dotcms :github :graphql :scp :strapi :strapi4
```

This command will start all the connectors that Astro currently has without starting a repo. This allows each connector to register to the `connector-depot` to allow the UI to fully work. 

As more connectors are added to Astro, this command will need to include the appropriate `:<connector>` option.&#x20;

## Update docker images

The `astro.conf` file contains all the docker images to start any docker container Astro starts. To update a container to a new docker image, you will need to update the appropriate variable in the `astro.conf` file, stop and remove the currently running docker container, run `astro start` with the appropriate options.&#x20;

**Example: update sync manager**

The following are terminal commands that to run to update the sync manager container with a new image. Before running these commands ensure the `astro.conf` file is updated with the correct images. &#x20;

```
docker kill sync-manager-app
docker rm sync-manager-app
./astro.sh start
```

**Example: update strapi4 connector**

The following are terminal commands to run to update the strapi4 connector containers with new images. Before running these commands ensure the `astro.conf` file is updated with the correct images.&#x20;

```
docker kill transformer-in-strapi4-app
docker rm transformer-in-strapi4-app
docker kill transformer-out-strapi4-app
docker rm transformer-out-strapi4-app
docker kill adapter-read-strapi4-app
docker rm adapter-read-strapi4-app
docker kill adapter-write-strapi4-app
docker rm adapter-write-strapi4-app
./astro.sh start :strapi4
```

**Note**: Only the containers with updated images need to be killed and removed. This example shows updating all of the strapi4 connector images at once.&#x20;

**Note**: Container names do not often change, but you can use `docker container ls -a` to find the container names before killing and removing the container. (dotCMS adapters will likely have variable names)
