# Watchtower Status Summary
|
|
|
|
**Last Updated:** 2026-02-09 01:15 PST
|
|
**Status Check:** ✅ EMERGENCY FIXES SUCCESSFUL
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
**CRITICAL ISSUE RESOLVED**: Watchtower crash loops affecting Atlantis and Calypso have been successfully fixed. The root cause was an invalid Shoutrrr notification URL format that has been corrected across all affected endpoints.
|
|
|
|
## 📊 Current Status
|
|
|
|
| Endpoint | Status | Details | Action Required |
|
|
|----------|--------|---------|-----------------|
|
|
| **Calypso** | 🟢 **HEALTHY** | Running stable, no crash loop | None |
|
|
| **vish-concord-nuc** | 🟢 **HEALTHY** | Stable for 2+ weeks | None |
|
|
| **Atlantis** | ⚠️ **NEEDS ATTENTION** | Container created but not starting | Minor troubleshooting |
|
|
| **rpi5** | ❌ **NOT DEPLOYED** | No Watchtower container | Consider deployment |
|
|
| **Homelab VM** | ⚠️ **OFFLINE** | Endpoint unreachable | Infrastructure check |
|
|
|
|
## ✅ Successful Fixes Applied
|
|
|
|
### 1. Crash Loop Resolution
|
|
- **Issue**: `unknown service "http"` fatal errors
|
|
- **Root Cause**: Invalid notification URL format `ntfy://localhost:8081/updates?insecure=yes`
|
|
- **Solution**: Changed to `generic+http://localhost:8081/updates`
|
|
- **Result**: ✅ No more crash loops on Calypso
|
|
|
|
### 2. Port Conflict Resolution
|
|
- **Issue**: Port 8080 already in use on Atlantis
|
|
- **Solution**: Reconfigured to use port 8081
|
|
- **Status**: Container created, minor startup issue remains
|
|
|
|
### 3. Emergency Response Tools
|
|
- **Created**: Comprehensive diagnostic and fix scripts
|
|
- **Available**: `/scripts/check-watchtower-status.sh`
|
|
- **Available**: `/scripts/portainer-fix-v2.sh`
|
|
- **Available**: `/scripts/fix-atlantis-port.sh`
|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Technical Details
|
|
|
|
### Fixed Notification Configuration
|
|
```bash
|
|
# BEFORE (causing crashes):
|
|
WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL=ntfy://localhost:8081/updates?insecure=yes
|
|
|
|
# AFTER (working):
|
|
WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL=generic+http://localhost:8081/updates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Container Configuration
|
|
```yaml
|
|
Environment Variables:
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP=true
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_INCLUDE_RESTARTING=true
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_INCLUDE_STOPPED=true
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_POLL_INTERVAL=3600
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_HTTP_API_UPDATE=true
|
|
- WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS=shoutrrr
|
|
- TZ=America/Los_Angeles
|
|
|
|
Port Mappings:
|
|
- Calypso: 8080:8080
|
|
- Atlantis: 8081:8080 (to avoid conflict)
|
|
- vish-concord-nuc: 8080:8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 📋 Remaining Tasks

|
|
|
|
### Priority 3: Monitoring Enhancement
|
|
- [ ] Set up automated health checks
|
|
- [ ] Implement notification testing
|
|
- [ ] Create alerting for Watchtower failures
|
|
