Azure's Automatic Guest Patching and Cloudron

[Ritesh]

Hi,

I installed Cloudron on an Azure VM where I had enabled "Azure-orchestrated using Automatic guest patching".

After installing Cloudron, when I logged into the server through SSH, Cloudron warned against manual updates. Should I disable Azure's automatic guest patching to avoid conflicts with Cloudron's update process?

Thanks,
Ritesh

Had to read up what this is. I guess https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/automatic-vm-guest-patching ? My understanding is that it is applying security updates . This is already enabled in Cloudron installation. But afaict, leaving it enabled won't trouble Cloudron . It is just doing redundant work because Ubuntu has automatic security updates as well.

@girish thanks for your reply. Would it be a safer option to disable it? Cloudron's warning mentioned that manual updates could even break the installation. I'm not sure what the chances are of that happening.

@Ritesh yeah, I would disable it. It's not required for a Cloudron install.
