Send email to admin when a Reboot is required

[robi]

It's not necessary to reboot immediately. No rush.

@robi Good to know. I thought the updates only take effect after a reboot.

[robi]

@humptydumpty no, that's for kernel updates only.

@robi Only kernel updates should require a reboot, so I had always assumed that the reboot request in the UI appears when there has been a kernel update.

[robi]

@ccfu Yes, it means it's available as it comes from the Ubuntu upstream updates.

There is no immediacy required.

Perhaps the message can be adjusted to convey a more relaxed stance and cause less anxiety.

Should be fixed with this anyway so a proper solution should be developed anyway: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3213/option-to-automatically-reboot-ubuntu-for-security-updates/22?_=1687196692026

Even better make live kernel patching an option. Ubuntu itself has LivePatching (license terms apply) and there are other providers that offer a similar service for a small fee. I don't know whether they play nicely with Cloudron's settings though.

@ccfu I've been running this since the beta with no issues at no cost, see here https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7774/ubuntu-pro-cloudron/

[ccfu]

@robi Thanks. I hadn't seen that. But I assume Cloudron still notifies that you that you need to reboot, right? That would be annoying.

[robi]

@ccfu Yes.
