Add a label to the Docker container

Just as I was writing a post asking how to add a label to a discourse container I figured it out so I thought I would share here so people my find it easier when googling.

I wanted to add a label to my discourse container so Watchtower wouldn’t try to update it every time.

I just overlooked the help that the launcher script printed and didn’t notice the --docker-args

To add the label I wanted I had to start it with the following:

./launcher start app --docker-args "--label com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=false"

I had been googling and looking around for over a day and couldn’t find anyone that wanted to do the same thing so I thought I would post this and hopefully someone will find it useful.

To make it process more permanent in nature, you could add the docker args into the app.yml file as described in this traefik example
