title: Auto Updates
---
## Docker Compose
With Docker Compose `wg-easy` can be updated with a single command:
```shell
cd /etc/docker/containers/wg-easy
sudo docker compose up -d --pull always
```
### Watchtower
If you want the updates to be fully automatic you can install Watchtower. This will check for updates every day at 4:00 AM and update the container if a new version is available.
File: `/etc/docker/containers/watchtower/docker-compose.yml`
```yaml
services:
watchtower:
image: containrrr/watchtower:latest
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
env_file:
- watchtower.env
restart: unless-stopped
```
File: `/etc/docker/containers/watchtower/watchtower.env`
```env
WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP=true
WATCHTOWER_SCHEDULE=0 0 4 * * *
TZ=Europe/Berlin
# Email
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS_LEVEL=info
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=email
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_FROM=mail@example.com
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_TO=mail@example.com
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_SERVER=smtp.example.com
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_SERVER_USER=mail@example.com
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD="SuperSecurePassword"
# WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL_SERVER_PORT=587
```
```shell
cd /etc/docker/containers/watchtower
sudo docker compose up -d
```
## Docker Run
```shell
sudo docker stop wg-easy
sudo docker rm wg-easy
sudo docker pull ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy
```
And then run the `docker run -d \ ...` command from [Docker Run][docker-run] again.
[docker-run]: ./docker-run.md
## Podman
To update `wg-easy` (and every container that has auto updates enabled), you can run the following command:
```shell
sudo podman auto-update
```
