Today, I learned about Watchtower and how to embed an ntfy.sh link in the Watchtower docker run command to be notified when it runs daily. You don't know what you don't know until you ask, "Hey, is there a better way to update all these Docker containers I am running?"

I am sure there are twenty different, maybe better, ways to do this, but that is Linux for you, and that is what makes it so great. I am just glad I found one to get me started since I see more Docker containers in my future. Also, sure, it was explained in the docs somewhere that I missed in my rush to get these cool and interesting self-hosting apps up and running immediately.
