Hi - I'm rebuilding my homelab and want to give docker compose another try. It looks like Watchtower is years out of date now. I see two forks that look more promising per https://techgaun.github.io/active-forks/index.html#https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower

These two: https://github.com/beatkind/watchtower https://github.com/nicholas-fedor/watchtower

The former seems to have more activity. What are you all using?

I've been thinking about this. Can you do that with watchtower? Don't need diem or anything?

[–] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is very easy. Here is my compose:

services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    container_name: watchtower
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    command: --interval 10800
    logging:
      driver: local
    environment:
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL: gotify://
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME: Fancy name
          WATCHTOWER_MONITOR_ONLY: true
          WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_HEAD_FAILURE: never

Every 3 hours it will check for updates, send a message via Gotify and pull the new images. It will not restart the containers with the new images.

Is it possible to have it auto update say one container and notify the rest?

[–] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social -1 points 2 years ago

No, because MONITOR_ONLY is for all
