📄 Description

Added warning in the "keeping your docker installation up-to-date section" about Watchtower project updates and Docker compatibility issues with a link to the documentation.

Description

While updating Open WebUI I ran into a compatibility issue between Watchtower and Docker. The documentation explains the issue, but the readme is where I got the command from. I'm adding this simple warning for others to read the more comprehensive documentation rather than just the readme.

Additional Information

  • I would recommend updating the readme to either include the updated Watchtower command that uses a maintained fork, or to remove it altogether in favor of directing people to the documentation.
