Hello! I was wondering if running periodically a script to automatically pull new images for all my containers is a good or a bad idea. I'd run it everyday at 5.00AM to avoid interruptions. Any tips?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the help! I'll install Watchtower to manage the updates

No, but you should already have good backups in place (right??) so restoring if something breaks isn't too hard.
