If you are running a docker storage node please make sure you are running our latest watchtower version.

The new version will ignore the --interval flag and update in a random interval between 12 and 72 hours. We want to have a slow update process in order to identify possible issues early and stop the rollout if needed.

Watchtower just updated itself but didn’t clean up its old container…

570RJ · February 19, 2020, 5:33pm

I dont know why watchtower is still being recommended by storj team. It is not reliable or a good way to do slow rolling release. I have been using simple bash script for a year now since watchtower failed me first time. Have not had any issue while everyone is suffering from watchtower. Dont think there is a benefit in trying to make flawed approach work

Ive never had any issues with watchtower not updating my storagenode.

+1 i have never had any issue with watchtower
My old watchtower container 84803293c0e3 was not removed after launching of 6af6621e20c1

570RJ · February 19, 2020, 6:06pm

Searching forum for watchtower issues shows how many problems it was having. Consider yourself lucky

anon27637763 · February 19, 2020, 6:06pm

docker container prune
docker image prune

deathlessdd · February 19, 2020, 6:07pm

I think its mostly user error more then anything.

Frieseba · February 19, 2020, 6:18pm

How can I update watchtower?

deathlessdd · February 19, 2020, 6:23pm

If you have watchtower already set up it should auto install it. But if not you will need to stop it rm container and pull a new image again. Then start the new watchtower.

Try this command to remove all unused containers.

docker system prune

will.topping · February 19, 2020, 6:58pm

rml52 · February 19, 2020, 7:03pm

docker stop container ID
docker rm container ID

rml52 · February 19, 2020, 7:05pm

assuming i stop the arm one?
what is the recommended tag for SN on a RPi 4?

Vadim · February 19, 2020, 7:07pm

if you make docker images then you see, like on picture above all containers.
then can stop and remove not by name but by ID, it like 97f4… on picture

docker ps -a

shows containers currently in use. You can delete the unused ones or use -a (all) flag for prune

docker system prune -a

rml52 · February 19, 2020, 7:12pm

Ahhh the prune -a took care of the rest of them. Thanks man!
