How often do you update software on your servers? - tchncs

Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates? update means something like sudo dnf update or something … apt-get upgrade apt-get update

Every night at ~ 12-1am

unattended updates / transactional-update are awesome.

Stuff has been running for years, and it’s still up to date.

Once per week for me. Works really great on openSUSE MicroOS. Had to roll back maybe a couple of times the last few years.

That said, I run basically everything in containers so the OS installed things are lean.

This is the way! At least install security upgrades nightly using unattended-upgrades and reboot from time to time to get the latest Kernel version.

Tell me you’re using nightly builds as well.

I wish I could use unattended-upgrade.

It literally restarts my server even when I disable the option, leaving it hung if the USB boot key isn’t in there.

I had to stop using it, so now I just manually upgrade because that doesn’t auto-restart without my permission…

unattended-upgrades doesn’t do that unless you explicitly specify //Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot “true”; in the config. Check /usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README.md.gz

The main configuration file is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades, maybe you put your config in the wrong place?
