Ubuntu sub-version not updated?

[imc67]

One of my 3 Cloudrons was long time ago installed with 22.04 LTS and mentions: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Last weekend I upgraded two others from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS and mentions: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

The big question: how/who is upgrading 22.04.2 LTS to 22.04.5 LTS and/or is it needed?

Hmz, I appear to be on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

The dot releases of ubuntu are just snapshots of the ubuntu package versions at a point in time. Since cloudron anyway enables automatic security updates, the necessary packages are updated .

The rest of the updates are just bug fixes, installer, HWE, kernel releated stuff. If you feel differently about this, you can always update using apt full-upgrade but be careful of those kernel updates. In the past, atleast on at DO, the server won't boot after a kernel update and DO won't help. We had to revert everything and upgade using Cloudron backups.

thanks for explaining, I'm on NetCup RS and during the upgrade procedure from 20.04 to 22.04 I remember seeing kernel updates going by and all went fine. I'll think twice before updating especially if it's not really needed.
