Yo, I also had the same issue on ARM. I believe the issue is present on all systems having scanned a number of post regarding rogule watchtower containers spinning up.
In one of the earlier threads @BrightSilence pointed out that we should use the --cleanup flag with watchtower to suppers the explosion. That works, but with quirks also
I was running with the --clean flag on watchtower before last update from 12-14 hrs ago on storagenode and what happened is that watchtower carried out the upgrade but then it stopped itself.
So, it does the reverse with that flag, prevents extra copies but kills itself. xd.
For reference, this is how Iâm running watchtower atm, so its an ez solution, keep an eye for the next upgrade e-mail, then take care to start it up, it literally wiped its own container clean, could not find it in docker ps -a:
aw, too bad, so perhaps there are platform-specific symptoms as well then. would not know what the watchtower version I was running 12hrs ago was to give more debug info⌠right now tho, iâm on:
root@storj:~# docker image history storjlabs/watchtower:latest

edit: welp, looking at this i must have been on the same one as now.
oh, i member now. i had a bomb of watchtower mails 1-2 weeks ago from watchtower failing to upgrade itself. So then i did the upgrade manually. Perhaps the original poster was in the same situation as me, but didnât have watchtower mail notifications and never noticed the build-up of watchtower instances, all of which then detected the yet newer version 45hrs and and doughnuts hit the fan.
good morning I woke up and my windows node updated over night to 0.22.1 the cli dashboard no longer displays bootstrap info is that normal, the Mac OS node has not updated yet
SC nodes require buy in first⌠you need to fund your operator wallet with SC⌠which needs to be purchased at an exchange, most likely Poloniex. Once youâve funded your wallet, you can advertise your node on their network and receive contracts for your resources.
Filecoin is not yet fully functional, as far as I know.
I donât know much about MaidSAFEâŚ
Thereâs also SWARM. Thatâs what I was looking at running myself, as it utilizes the ENS architecture and has a decent shot at replacing much of the Internet infrastructure⌠and how everything communicates. However, I think the minimum buy-in was $2500 for a qualified node operator.
Storj is a happy medium at the moment. Itâs not too drastic a change from âHow things are run right nowâ ⌠there is no immediate buy-in to run a node and get started playing with the tech on a live network⌠and itâs not too difficult to setup from a technical standpoint by comparison with many other projects starting up on decentralization.
If you want to read a little bit about some of the various projects, I found this hackernoon article to be quite informative.
I donât think anyone is having issues with Docker itself, theyâre having issues with the images that run in Docker containers. This is like saying that youâre having ânever ending problems with Windowsâ because Chrome is misbehaving.
Docker just runs containers from images. Defective images are not a problem with Docker any more than bugs in Chrome indicate a problem with Windows.
Docker is used in production by huge companies to manage applications that run on entire fleets of servers. My company uses it quite successfully.
Iâm not saying Docker is perfect, but I havenât seen anything crop up yet on these forums thatâs an issue with Docker itself. Theyâre always a watchtower bug, a storagenode bug, or operator error (misconfiguration, incorrect commands, etc.).
This has become a whining thread for some and is heavily off-topic now. Letâs stay focused here.
You can always create a new thread to air your problems about disqualification, frustration with docker, etcâŚ
Iâm surprised that someone, who âruns servers in 8 different geographical locations around the countryâ, canât understand clear error messages. Your single and double quotes are wrong (âinvalid charâ) and Alexey pointed that out to you in the very next post, yet you still keep ranting about it hereâŚ
Please, do not respond on this scream of soul, the author of the screaming comment created a separate thread again Watchtower goes crazy! All MEM & CPU in use (ubuntu) - #2 by nerdatwork and solved the problem by uninstalling the docker and installing it back.
This would be my second suggestion, if the one-line-killer doesnât help. Unfortunately the author was frustrated and his mind was closed.
The only thing I would mention that uninstalling should be with purge.
There is another workaround - find out and remove all watchtower containers from the filesystem:
CPU 100%. Tried countless things but eventually restored an earlier snapshot.
Guess my reputation has taken a serious beating by this⌠(also due to the fact that I noticed it quiet late, as both SNOboard and UptimeRobot indicated my node was running just fineâŚ).
