SingleServer_MultiNode watchtower issue

[saqiz7861]

Hi,

Running a multi-node setup, it is working fine. Watchtower was working fine till single-node, when trying to run watchtower for multinode monitor and automatic updates, it keeps restarting. mentioning container name as storagenode-a storagenode-b storagenode-c storagenode-d in watchtower and even correct name of docker image as storjlabs/watchtower:latest.

Any suggestion about running it properly?

Thanks.

Watchtower crashes reporting client version is too old

The actual solution is to not use docker. Then you won’t need watchtower. Use container management that does not suck. Podman, for example, supports containers auto update out of the box and without broken crutches. Use it. (Watchtower is conceptually broken and cannot be fixed — container that controls its own orchestrator is a high grade bullshit and just abhorrent poor design, that docker forced on people by being bloated garbage and not supporting basic features)

Hello @saqiz7861 ,
Welcome to the forum!

You can use this workaround:

Storjlabs/watchtower stop after update docker?

Try adding: environment: <...> DOCKER_API_VERSION: 1.44 <...> in the watchtower container configuration

Hi @Alexey

Creating a docker-compose file worked, previously I was running the container directly from CLI. Now made a file and created container from file.

It is UP and running, how to find any possible log for watchtower to check if it is really running/working for the update process.

Thanks.

docker logs watchtower comes empty, docker ps says watchtower is running and not crashing/restarting as it was.

It rarely print something to the logs.
You may also use an original watchtower instead of ours, but I think ours would be updated soon:

Version bump

Thanks, will check and update here if update does not work.
