Watchtower Container Replacement
Apparently, watchtower has also been broken by version 29 of the docker engine
Watchtower is an oldie and has worked so well for so long. However, as of now, it is going on three years stale without updates. In fact, with the latest update to Docker 29.x, it has reported to be broken. Note the following comments I have received on my recent YouTube video about Watchtower. These comments represent good community feedback on the Watchtower project.
According to this post a viable alternative exists. So, Brandon is not running docker engine version 29 or is he just blogging his solution. Can read a lot into the above statement.
What’s Up Docker Keeps Your Home Lab Containers Updated Automatically

There is another solution that is similar in nature as well, but I will run with this as this guy knows his stuff.

WUD (aka What’s up Docker?)
I have added this to my base stack via Podman and will roll it out and see how we go.
Code for setting up Podman is in review as I have learned a few things in the last week that have caused a rewrite.
