How often do you update software on your servers? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

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.

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.

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?

here is mine

Tell me you’re using nightly builds as well.
