Automate the process of updating Docker containers by pulling new images and restarting services.
Watchtower automates Docker container updates by monitoring image registries for new versions. When a new image is found, it pulls it, gracefully shuts down the running container, and restarts it using its original deployment options. Users can start Watchtower with a simple command like `docker run --detach --name watchtower --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower` to begin monitoring.
