There was a problem hiding this comment.
Personally, I'd prefer to just link to the respective watchtower documentation on how to exclude a specific service from it. Our Readme is already quite long. I think linking to the right place of their documentation is already enough hand-holding.

I agree. A link to the Full Exclude option is enough. |

Yeah, maybe just a link is enough, the watchtower guide for Full Exclusion is pretty straightforward, there's no need for a further explaination in the Pi-hole documentation. |

Added instructions to exclude Pi-hole container from Watchtower's auto-update system.
Description
Modified the README file in order to add the instructions to fully exclude the Pi-hole container from Watchtower.
The instructions can be find in Watchtower's official documentation Full exclude section
Motivation and Context
This change avoids a new Pi-hole user to go back on Watchtower's documentation to find how to exclude some container from the auto-update system.
The simple pice of setting that needs to be added on the Docker-compose is now available directly in the Pi-hole README
How Has This Been Tested?
