Hey VGE,

First of all, apologies for responding late. Regarding your question – no, there won’t be any issues. What matters to Watchtower is identifying the labels it looks for on the container. It doesn’t matter how the container is deployed. It will take care of that container if the labels it’s looking for are there.

Best,
Bobby

I have a question: I run all my containers in separate docker-compose files, example:
/docker/nextcloud/docker-compose.yml
/docker/uptime-kuma/docker-compose.yml
etc etc etc.

Normally I manually go to the folder and have a alias: alias dcr=’sudo docker-compose down && sudo docker-compose pull && sudo docker-compose up -d’ .

How does watchtower interact with compose and its separate files? Or wouldn’t this be an issue?

Thanks!
