Greetings,

I’m currently using Watchtower to monitor and update my Docker containers in Portainer. However, I want to exclude the Discourse container from being updated by Watchtower.  
I am not IT pro so I want to ask you for a short tutorial on what exactly I must change in my Watchtower Monitor `docker-compose.yml` file and other changes in the Discourse configuration.  
I am glad for any help.
