Question About Watchtower (lemmy.world)

So, I finally installed Watchtower to auto update my containers. I was a little hesitant because just letting apps auto update kind of makes me a little nervous. Even Windows updates give me bouts of trepidation. Everything went well, there was a little hiccup with Netdata but resolved in less than 5 minutes.

My question is that there are four remaining containers that haven't been updated: Speedtest Tracker, Portainer, Doppler Task, and Dockge.

Is this indicative of an issue? Do I just need to update these four manually or will Watchtower eventually update them?

Additionally, has anyone ever had any problems with auto updating? It does make me a bit nervous, however I think I will get used to relying on Watchtower.

Which, if any, tag are you using? You may need to use latest.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

WATCHTOWER_LABEL_ENABLE=false

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That has nothing to do with my question.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I have disabled labels in deployment, then I'm not using any labels, since I disabled them in deployment. Does that track?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never said anything about labels, I said tags. https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/tag/

Apologies. My bad....I misunderstood. Tags/Labels.... To answer your question, no I am not running any tags. I just checked and all but two have updated, so it might be as a lot of people have suggested. It'll get around to it. Sorry for my confusion.
