How to enable automatic updates on Ubuntu
Originally published on my blog: https://kerkour.com/ubuntu-linux-automatic-updates-with-unattended-upgrades
Life is too short to manually upgrade the packages of your machine twice a week, so here is how to automate the software updates of an Ubuntu server (20.04 or 22.04).
First, you need to install unattended-upgrades:
$ sudo apt install unattended-upgradesThen configure it:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgradesand select yes on the dialog.
Then, you need to enable automatic updates on a daily basis:
$ vim /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodicAPT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "7";APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";Finally, you may want to disable kernel updates that require a reboot:
$ sudo vim /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgradesUnattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { // The following matches all packages starting with linux- "linux-";};Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";Original Link: https://dev.to/sylvainkerkour/how-to-enable-automatic-updates-on-ubuntu-2b7
