Watchtower is itself packaged as a Docker container so installation is as simple as pulling the `v2tec/watchtower` image. If you are using ARM based architecture, pull the appropriate `v2tec/watchtower:armhf-<tag>` image from the [v2tec Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/v2tec/watchtower/tags/).
|
||||
|
||||
Since the watchtower code needs to interact with the Docker API in order to monitor the running containers, you need to mount */var/run/docker.sock* into the container with the -v flag when you run it.

If you mount the config file as described below, be sure to also prepend the url for the registry when starting up your watched image (you can omit the https://). Here is a complete docker-compose.yml file that starts up a docker container from a private repo at dockerhub and monitors it with watchtower. Note the command argument changing the interval to 30s rather than the default 5 minutes.
