All,

 

I'm not the author of this docker image, but I find it very very useful. I just pushed a template for the watchtower docker to my repo. This docker will monitor all of your running dockers and update them automatically with the newest versions. Additionally, if you have any linked dockers, it'll restart the dockers in the correct order to make sure that the dockers link back up properly (HUGE benefit to those that have linked dockers).

 

For more info on the available options and configuration, visit the application github repo:

https://github.com/CenturyLinkLabs/watchtower

 

 

Grab the template from my repo here, or run the docker run command directly:

 

docker run -d --name="watchtower" \
--net="bridge" -v "/var/run/docker.sock":"/var/run/docker.sock":rw \
centurylink/watchtower

I'm having issues with Watchtower resulting in loads of orphaned images. Is there any method of removing those automatically?
