What's Up Docker (WUD) will notify you of updated Docker container images for installation, just like Watchtower can do, but WUD solves a number of challenges that I have with using Watchtower:
Shows a custom descriptive name for images including database images.This means no time wasted checking which image must be updated.Updates can be run with the click of a button inside WUD.Auto prunes the old images.Can work with more than one remote Docker host endpoint.Numerous notification services supported.Can single-click to see image's change log.Can optionally auto update docker-compose file with new image version.I demonstrate a number of these features but I did not really go through the menus, as most settings are set using the environment and label variables in the Docker files for containers (which I do show in the video).
