I hope this can continue to be developed for people like me who don't have a complicated panel management experience.

That is the idea.
Make self-hosting easy to use, understandable and reliable.
If you have feedback for us how we can improve?
When ever you find something that is not clear enough?
Please let us know!
When reporting these things here, be assured we greatly appreciate the feedback and will try to improve Cloudron all the time.

@james I've used several panels... one of the panels I use is Cloudron, which has some pretty interesting features. It's simple and easy to use. I hope this can continue to be developed for people like me who don't have a complicated panel management experience.

I just renewed my subscription a few years ago, and I estimate I'll be using Cloudron for maybe 1.5 years...

The explanation here... I don't understand... how to do it... hahaha

Maybe we can also treat this topic as a feature request.
Add the option to select apps to perform actions for the selected apps
e.g.: update, disable/enable auto updates, stop/start etc.

I've been meaning to add such a feature request.

Hello @imatbagjagumilar
I see you just created your topic first in @discuss and now in @wordpress-managed, but I can see from the screenshot you are using the @wordpress-developer app variant.
In the future, you don't need to delete your post, we can simply move it to the correct category.
I will move your topic to @wordpress-developer

To answer your question, there is no way to mass update many apps.
What you can do is configure the automatic app and system updates in the dashboard under /#/system-update to run every hour and let the system do its job over a day.
This will update all apps and not like you stated specific ones.
The following is not possible from the dashboard, but you can set a quicker time frame instead of hourly with the API.

Example: Run app and system updates every minute.

# Replace $TOKEN with your API token
export TOKEN="-wAXL5GxnvxfNQc_YouHuAsEsmXQ_7lprev9Wf-U5ii"
curl 'https://my.cloudron.dev/api/v1/updater/autoupdate_config' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"schedule":"*/1 * * * *","policy":"platform_and_apps"}'

I have tested this by installing a previous version of the LAMP app and then just waited.

You could also create a list off app IDs that should be updated and then also use the API to update them.

Maybe we can also treat this topic as a feature request.

Add the option to select apps to perform actions for the selected apps
e.g.: update, disable/enable auto updates, stop/start etc.
