title: Unattended Upgrades
---

[toc]
## Installation
`# apt install unattended-upgrades`  

## Configuration
**NOTE: This configuration is tailored to my personal preferences. Feel free to do something else if you don't want what I'm doing**  

### Enable automatic reboots
If necessary, the server will automatically reboot.  
An example would be kernel updates.  

Edit `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades`  
```
...
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";
...
```

### Repo update time
Create an override file for `apt-daily.timer` using this command  
`$ sudo systemctl edit apt-daily.timer`  

Add these lines between the two comments  
```
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 2:00
RandomizedDelaySec=0
```

### Host upgrade time
Create an override file for `apt-daily-upgrade.timer` using this command  
`$ sudo systemctl edit apt-daily-upgrade.timer`  

Add these lines between the two comments  
```
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 4:00
RandomizedDelaySec=0
```
