Watchtower is also capable of connecting to Docker endpoints which are protected by SSL/TLS. If you've used _docker-machine_ to provision your remote Docker host, you simply need to volume mount the certificates generated by _docker-machine_ into the watchtower container and optionally specify `--tlsverify` flag.
The _docker-machine_ certificates for a particular host can be located by executing the `docker-machine env` command for the desired host (note the values for the `DOCKER_HOST` and `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` environment variables that are returned from this command). The directory containing the certificates for the remote host needs to be mounted into the watchtower container at _/etc/ssl/docker_.
With the certificates mounted into the watchtower container you need to specify the `--tlsverify` flag to enable verification of the certificate:
```bash
docker run -d \
--name watchtower \
-e DOCKER_HOST=$DOCKER_HOST \
-e DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/etc/ssl/docker \
-v $DOCKER_CERT_PATH:/etc/ssl/docker \
containrrr/watchtower --tlsverify
```
