Change intervall

You can change the intervall by edeting this line: command: --interval 86400. Write here your new time in seconds.

Gotify notification

Everytime a container gets updated you can send a push message to your phone. This is works with the push service Gotify. You just have to add those lines to your environment variables.

      - notifications-level=trace
      - WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=gotify
      - WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_GOTIFY_URL=http://gotify
      - WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_GOTIFY_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      - WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_GOTIFY_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY=true

Replace the WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_GOTIFY_TOKEN with a generated one from Gotify.
Also Replace WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_GOTIFY_URL with the name of your gotify container.
Both containers must be in the same network!!!
