[How-To] Install Watchtower container using OMV and docker-compose

macom · 10. August 2019

Preparation --> follow the preparation steps in this [How-To]

in CLI:

mkdir /home/docker1 create a folder for user docker1 in home directory (if not already done)
mkdir /home/docker1/watchtower create a folder where we will put the docker-compose.yml file to setup watchtower
cd /home/docker1/watchtower change in that directory
nano docker-compose.yml create an empty file and start the editor
copy the content of the Source Code box below in the editor and save the file with Ctrl+X and y; name must be "docker-compose.yml"
- to copy the content of the Source Code box use the small icon in the top right corner of the box ("Copy Contents")

Code

version: "2"
services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    environment:
      - WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP=true
      - WATCHTOWER_POLL_INTERVAL=3600
    restart: unless-stopped

after you saved the file, run docker-compose up -d in the directory where the docker-compose.yml file is located; this will download the needed image and start the container

You can also run the docker-compose file in Portainer without using the CLI:[How-To] Use docker-compose files in Portainer
