# References - https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower - https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/ # Notes Running multiple Watchtower instances is only possible by using scope definitions. Please read [here](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/running-multiple-instances/). Otherwise, any new Watchtower container will remove and clean up older instances. > [!TIP] > The provided compose example makes use of a separate socket-proxy container. > > Socket Proxy is a security-enhanced proxy, which allows you to apply access rules to the Docker socket, limiting the attack surface for containers such as Watchtower that need to use it.
