Install Docker and docker-compose, then clone this repository.

git clone https://codeberg.org/video-prize-ranch/rimgo
cd rimgo

Watchtower can automatically update your Docker containers.

Create a new docker-compose.yml file or add the watchtower section to your existing docker-compose.yml file.

version: "3"
services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
