By default, Watchtower will clean up other instances and won't allow multiple instances running on the same Docker host or swarm. It is possible to override this behavior by defining a [scope](https://containrrr.github.io/watchtower/arguments/#filter_by_scope) to each running instance.
Notice that:
- Multiple instances can't run with the same scope;
- An instance without a scope will clean up other running instances, even if they have a defined scope;
To define an instance monitoring scope, use the `--scope` argument or the `WATCHTOWER_SCOPE` environment variable on startup and set the _com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.scope_ label with the same value for the containers you want to include in this instance's scope (including the instance itself).
For example, in a Docker Compose config file:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
app-monitored-by-watchtower:
image: myapps/monitored-by-watchtower
labels:
- "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.scope=myscope"
watchtower:
image: containrrr/watchtower
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
command: --interval 30 --scope myscope
labels:
- "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.scope=myscope"
```
