Hi - I'm rebuilding my homelab and want to give docker compose another try. It looks like Watchtower is years out of date now. I see two forks that look more promising per https://techgaun.github.io/active-forks/index.html#https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower

These two: https://github.com/beatkind/watchtower https://github.com/nicholas-fedor/watchtower

The former seems to have more activity. What are you all using?

What's wrong with the old one? What is more promising to you about the new one?

I just noticed that the original watchtower hasn’t been updated in 2 years. I’ve never noticed before since it just works, but I guess it might stop working with some future docker update.

Not sure why this one is so interesting though. It’s mostly dependency updates so far.
