Hello! I was wondering if running periodically a script to automatically pull new images for all my containers is a good or a bad idea. I’d run it everyday at 5.00AM to avoid interruptions. Any tips?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the help! I’ll install Watchtower to manage the updates

    Pretty solid advice.

    One could argue though that a backup script could pull the particular container image right after doing the backup to have maximum coverage.

    If someone is already that adept at scripting to rely on a script to do automatic backups, they can very well pull the new images and clean old ones.

    I‘m one of those who have a backup script and still use watchtower.
