In this video I take a look at Tugtainer (yeah… the name still throws me) which is basically a Docker container update manager in the same lane as Watchtower, but with a clean web UI. I walk through the interface, how it lists containers, shows status/health, and how you can choose which containers get checked for updates and which ones can be updated. The big takeaway here is that it’s super straightforward to manually check and update, and I genuinely like how it’s laid out—especially the per-container toggles and the “last checked/last updated” info. Where things got spicy for me was multi-host management and documentation. I tried SSH connections for remote hosts and I could not get it working, even after fighting with it for way too long. What did work was using a Docker Socket Proxy on each remote host and then connecting over TCP, which I show step-by-step. I also cover image pruning, cron-based scheduling, and notifications—plus the fact that notifications are done with Apprise (which I had to dig through the code to confirm). Final thoughts: I love the idea and it works great once it works, but it’s not recommended for production, auto-updates are off by default for a reason, and you absolutely need backups—especially if you’re living that “latest tag” life.
