Watchtower: [Question] Is there an option to monitoring only

[ghost]

Hi,

Can I use watchtower only for notification when new image was pushed without updating the container?
I want get notification when new image was pushed but without pulling them or updating and restaring container. Notification via email, pushover or pushbullet will be good.

Hi @Haxy89 , I'm agree with you and If I can add a support for notification => It's Discord.
Today, a lot of people incuding me, use Discord, and the one of the last applications that I want use with Discord is WatchTower :)

Sure Kevin, but I asked about monitoring mode only. Sending notification when new version without updating container.
@v2tec-admin Is it supported in current version of watchtower?

hi @Haxy89, unfortunately this is currently not possible, but should be pretty easy to enhance watchtower. Would you be interested adding this functionality?

[stffabi]

@kevincaradant I've added #143 to track adding discord as a notification service.

@stffabi Can you add pushbullet as a notification service too (api: https://docs.pushbullet.com/)?
Its free in contrast to pushover :)
I will try to create pull request with notification mode only when I set up GO language develope env. ;)

@stffabi, Thank you to take the initiative to create an issue for that ;)

@Haxy89,

Sure Kevin, but I asked about monitoring mode only

Yes as I said, I wish the same feature :)=> "Hi @Haxy89 , I'm agree with you" in my previous message

I will try to create pull request with notification mode only

Thank you to take the time to do it ;)

Hope this is in development.. Would love this feature.. Just want to be notified prior to updating.. :)

I'm using a commercial docker container. The licence inside needs to be deactivated before updating the container. (Licence is bound to the container ID).
So this feature would be awesome if I get an notification for a specific container that theres a new version available, without updating it by watchtower! 😃

This has been implemented as a flag, --monitor-only, which will notify about new images, but not download and update containers.
