Install Watchtower
Attention: The video is still in german
docker run -d --name=watchtower \ -v /volume1/docker/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ --restart=always \ containrrr/watchtower --cleanup --include-stopped --include-restarting --interval 21600
Watchtower updates your containers automatically without asking. For some, this is very useful, but for others who have to work with a container all the time, less so.
That’s why there is also an option to always run Watchtower manually instead of automatically. You can find all of these options in the documentation.
Here is an example of a manual update of Calibre:
docker run --rm \ -v /volume1/docker/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once calibre
docker run –rm creates the Watchtower container, runs it and when it is finished, it is automatically deleted.
Create symbolic link for docker.sock
ln -s /var/run/docker.sock /volume1/docker/docker.sock
I am creating this symbolic link because I was having problems with some containers accessing docker.sock. When I linked them like this, those containers no longer had any problems and ran perfectly.
