[Bug] When WATCHATSTART is FALSE, no containers are listed in the UI

[armond-avanes]

When I run the WUD container with WATCHATSTART=False and launch the web UI, I don't see any containers listed there.

I've not tested it further but most probably the containers are fetched/refreshed when WUD is going to check for the new versions. This makes sense from a WATCHER perspective, but from GUI point of view, the containers should be fetched at startup (or at least when the GUI is launched for the first time and there are no containers info yet) and shown there even if there are no watchers scheduled at WUD startup.

Hi,

Container discovery and update checking are executed at the same time.

I'm thinking about removing the WATCHATSTART option and forcing a watch at start only if the store is empty.

It will probably be more simple/usable 🤔

So what do we do exactly when we don't want containers to be updated on startup of wud? Only at the intervals defined by the CRON?
