---

Watchtower is a program that monitors all the deployed Docker containers and automatically updates the containers when there's a new version of the image available, by performing a restart of the container. It ensures your images are kept up-to-date.

SSH into your machine, Type the following to access your PTS Menu Interface: sudo pts
Select [10] Settings as follows:

Select `[4] WatchTower : Auto-Update Application Manager`:

This puts us in the main interface for the watchtower.

The options are pretty self explanatory here,

[1] Containers: Auto-Update All - Regularly updates all your container to latest available images.
[2] Containers: Auto-Update All Except | Plex & Emby - Regularly updates all your container to latest available images, except Plex & Emby
[3] Containers: Never Update - Never update your container to latest available images, unless you do it manually.

[Z] - Exit - return to previous menu.
