It is with a heavy heart, and some sense of relief, that I'd like to announce that we are looking to archive containrrr/watchtower. Neither @piksel, nor I, are big users of docker anymore, and frankly lost interest (and time) in maintaining the project.

There are a few forks out there - unfortunately I know nothing about them so can't really vouch for their legitimity. If you want to continue using Watchtower, please assess them yourself without switching. A few of the active forks I've looked at are full of AI slop and while they might work, I wouldn't advice using any of them.

With that said, the separate shoutrrr project will remain active for the time being.

Thank you for this time, and for showing such a overwhelming amount of interest in the project! It's really been a fun ride!

Best,
@simskij and @piksel
