Reload nginx proxy config on image update #186

@norpan

Description

@norpan

Hi,
I'm trying to use watchtower to update my applications when I push a new image. My problem is that they are behind an nginx reverse proxy, and when the containers restart they sometimes get a new IP address. They are referred to by name in the nginx config, but it doesn't do a new lookup on each request, so I have to send it a SIGHUP.

I'm wondering if there is a way to configure watchtower send SIGHUP to my nginx container whenever it updates an image.
