Run Watchtower in Even

Even Stacks launches Watchtower as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Watchtower in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://watchtower.localhost.

Drive Watchtower with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Watchtower directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can open its dashboards in the browser pane, read the metrics, and set up alerts. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Watchtower and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Watchtower runs as a daemon with no UI; inspect behavior via docker logs <container>. Control update schedule and scope with env vars like WATCHTOWER_SCHEDULE (cron syntax) and WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP. No API or interactive interface is available.
