Use --ignore-buildable flag during update

[dcflachs]

Summary

Improve update functionality

Detailed description

When running the stack update functionality the plugin does a compose pull command followed by a compose up --build. Could you add the --ignore-buildable flag to the compose pull command? This flag will prevent compose from trying to pull images that it can build, prevent errors due to the inability to pull locally built images.

Is this something that could be added across the board? Or would it be better suited to an option in settings? I haven't looked into it at all and I figured I'd ask. Sounds like it should be fine to just add it, and I will do the due diligence as well, but if you know already... lol

I believe it should be fine to just add it. The information on the flag seemed simple enough, but I haven't been aware of this option long enough to promise I understand all the potential consequences of using it.

Fair enough, thanks for the response. I will take a look at the compose-spec and see what it says.

From what I've been able to find out, it should be safe to always add this so I did. This will be default behavior, starting in this beta (haven't updated it yet) and eventually merged to main.
