Have you managed to add a watchtower to your Umbrel. Do you have updated instructions on how to do so on Umbrel v0.4.2?

I did it with these steps described in this [“Umbrel troubleshooting manual”](https://telegra.ph/Umbrel-BTCLN-node---Troubleshooting-07-06#How-to-add-a-WatchTower-to-my-node) that I am trying to keep up to date with more stuff.

You have all the simple steps in [Umbrel troubleshooting manual](http://community.umbrel.com/t/umbrel-troubleshooting-guide/3632/2), not necessary a video for that.

you need to be in the umbrel folder in order to run that command  
cd umbrel  
docker-compose restart lnd  
or just restart the node from dashboard - settings - restart  
or  
sudo ./scripts/stop  
sudo ./scripts/start
