Watchtower will automatically update Podman/Docker images. This version is a fork of the original that has been discontinued.

It is used on this server to update any container orchestrated by Sablier (running via a compose.yaml).

Place watchtower.container in ~/.config/containers/systemd/watchtower and watchtower.timer in ~/.config/systemd/user/. Rather than run this service continually, it is called on-demand once per week.

I find Watchtower can be buggy in this setup and need to either find an alternative or the cause of these glitches.

Configure to your needs:
