WUD is a better alternative to Watchtower for Docker updates
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:
1. Shows a custom descriptive name for images, including database images.
2. This means no time wasted checking which image must be updated.
3. Updates can be run with the click of a button inside WUD.
4. Auto prunes the old images.
5. Can work with more than one remote Docker host endpoint.
6. Numerous notification services supported.
7. Can single-click to see image's change log.
8. 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).
