Watchtower does nothing

Node Operators troubleshooting

i noticed 1 of my 6 nodes is not updated to latest version and i checked the watchtower, it was stuck at

time="2022-10-02T23:03:01Z" level=info msg="Waiting for running update to be finished..."

i waited 1 day and it was still stuck there, i stopped and removed the container.
i started a new watchtower container and that does nothing now, problem is the log is empty and i have no idea what i can do now:

Watchtower is now updating only the base image. The base image contains Downloader and orchestrator. The update of storagenode performed by the updater inside the container, it’s now follows the update waves, as any binary storagenode version.
So, just keep it running it will be updated automatically when its time to come.

hi thanks for answer
does that mean its no longer needed to run watchtower or did i get it wrong?

We may update the base image, and watchtower will help to update it for you automatically.

i´m not sure if there is a problem with watchtower because just the one node of my 6 is not updated for some days now
