Why HTTP API mode removes the scheduler?

[kopiro]

From the docs, Runs Watchtower in HTTP API mode, only allowing image updates to be triggered by an HTTP request. For details see HTTP API.

The question here is why can't I have both? I'm exactly in the scenario where I need a scheduler (maybe every day, or every hour) but also support to update on the spot via HTTP.

For now I've achieved the same using an external cron the calls the /v1/update, but I would like to have the internal scheduler instead.

Hi @kopiro,

I understand your use case and it makes total sense. We're tracking that feature in issue #897.

Best,
