Watchtower

devops

Automatically updates running Docker containers when new images are published. Set it once and forget about manually pulling updates for your self-hosted stack

#docker#automation#updates#devops

Overview

Watchtower monitors your running containers and pulls new image versions on a schedule. When an update is found it gracefully stops the old container, pulls the new image, and restarts with the same options. Configurable per-container with label-based inclusion/exclusion. Near-universal in homelab Docker setups.
