📄 Description

Thank you for taking the time to work on a PR for Awesome-Sysadmin!

To ensure your PR is dealt with swiftly please check the following:

Your additions are Free software
Software you are submitting is not your own, unless you have a healthy ecosystem with a few contributors (which aren't your sock puppet accounts).
Submit one item per pull request. This eases reviewing and speeds up inclusion.
Format your submission as follows, where Demo and Clients are optional.
Do not add a duplicate Source code link if it is the same as the main link.
Keep the short description under 80 characters and use sentence case
for it, even if the project's webpage or readme uses another capitalisation.
Demo links should only be used for interactive demos, i.e. not video demonstrations.
- [Name](http://homepage/) - Short description, under 250 characters, sentence case. ([Demo](http://url.to/demo), [Source Code](http://url.of/source/code), [Clients](https://url.to/list/of/related/clients-or-apps)) `License` `Language`
Additions are inserted preserving alphabetical order.
Additions are not already listed at awesome-selfhosted
The Language tag is the main server-side requirement for the software. Don't include frameworks or specific dialects.
You have searched the repository for any relevant issues or PRs, including closed ones.
Any category you are creating has the minimum requirement of 3 items.
Any software project you are adding to the list is actively maintained.
The pull request title is informative, unlike "Update README.md".
Suggested titles: "Add aaa to bbb" for adding software aaa to section bbb,
"Remove aaa from bbb" for removing, "Fix license for aaa", etc.

Please take some time to answer the following questions as best you can:

Why is it awesome?

It is a zero-overhead, cron-triggered Docker and Compose orchestrator that automates installation, checks remote manifests for updates, performs seamless container hot-swaps, and prunes system bloat—all with zero persistent background daemons.

Have you used it? For how long?

Yes, I have developed and used it for several years.

Is this in a personal or professional setup?

Personal and server administration setup.

How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?

It manages Docker updates, pruning, and health monitoring for multiple Debian-based Linux hosts and container environments.

Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?

Pros:

Zero runtime overhead: runs as a cron job rather than a memory-consuming background daemon.
Container hot-swapping: detects remote image updates and recreates affected containers using Compose files.
Self-maintaining: updates itself automatically via GitHub API checks.
Cons:
Strictly designed for Debian-based distributions.
Any other comments about your use case, things you've found excellent, limitations you've encountered... ?

It serves as a highly reliable, resource-saving alternative to background update daemons like Watchtower.
