Automatic update & upgrade
-
Hello,
does Cloudron update/upgrade the server automatically (apt update & apt upgrade)? If not, how can i configure a automatic update and upgrade?
-
Cloudron takes care of all updates and upgrades on its own. It is not recommended to run them manually, even if there are pending updates seen in apt. Security updates are applied daily, however other packages might not be updated, unless that was tested.
All in all, to answer the question, yes your server already does it for you with Cloudron.

Wow, brilliant! I was just wondering this myself, great to know!

Other question: Does Cloudron reboot the server automatically, if updates are finished? I get the message "This server requires a reboot to finalize Ubuntu security updates.". What is if i ignore the message?

@timo If you ignore the message, the relevant security updates are not installed and you are still vulnerable. Its not super critical to reboot ASAP, I usually let mine go a few days, but any more than that and it becomes risky. Remember, Cloudron is the home for all your personal and perhaps business data. Caution is advised.

@nebulon Do you add this feature at the next cloudron version?

Only security updates are applied automatically. Dist upgrade have to be done by hand. If dist upgrade fails, best bet is to restore into a new instance from a backup.
