Came across this similar s/w (also available in docker hub) that seems to have the same name (guess that could cause confusion

maybe could ask them to change the name used [think it's related to go, so could put that in the name]): https://github.com/William-Yeh/fswatch https://hub.docker.com/r/williamyeh/fswatch/ https://medium.com/@skdomino/watch-this-file-watching-in-go-5b5a247cf71f https://william-yeh.net/post/2019/06/inotify-in-containers/

uses fsnotify (which has an interesting table on various methods for notifications in different OS'es): https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify#faq https://godoc.org/github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify?tab=doc
