Docker Swarm: automatically update service when new image is released
Since watchtower doesn't support Docker Swarm I've come across shepherd but the author has stated that he wont be maintaining the project anymore which makes me reluctant to use it.

Reminder to do some docker maintenance
Shepherd for those of that run docker swarm.
- Watchtower with Docker Swarm?

Do you have auto update for your containers ? (with watchtower for example)
Not at production (there are strict versioned images), but personally I use Shepherd in my distributed Docker Swarm (many hosts in different locations, even different architectures). I wonder why people say about some terrible issues. I must be very lucky: for over a year usage I've had only single one problem when service wasn't properly restarted (I remember it was Traefik). The only services excluded from auto-update are PostgreSQL and MongoDB (MariaDB works fine with auto updates).

Docker image update notifier
Because all my Docker services are running in Docker Swarm I use similar project shepherd (available also at dockerhub). Not many features, but extremely easy to set up and it does its job (check, download and restart any service when new image is available, so I don't need to care about program updating at all).

Is Watchtower abandoned ? Is there a better alternative?
