Hello! I was wondering if running periodically a script to automatically pull new images for all my containers is a good or a bad idea. I’d run it everyday at 5.00AM to avoid interruptions. Any tips?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the help! I’ll install Watchtower to manage the updates

    But from the moment that the script updates and breaks something and the moment he realizes it may be too late for some applications.

    For example I host Traccar to track car/vans and in this case some tracks would be lost. Or maybe SyncThing, he may realize days/weeks later that a sync is not working and if he was synching his smartphone pictures with his server and the smartphone is lost/broke/stolen, he may lose days/weeks or even months of pictures.

    I wouldn’t trust a script. Use Watchtower or What’s up Docker
