Is Canonical Livepatch Service supported?

[imc67]

Is it supported (and/or advised) to use Canonical Livepatch Service (https://ubuntu.com/livepatch) on the Cloudron server?

Don't know if it's supported but I have been running Livepatch for the last year or so without issue on my Cloudron home server

It should be supported but we don't have any explicit tests for this. Also I am not sure if it was so far verified if the apt based flag for reboot required is working correctly here or if it would still raise the reboot requirement in cases where it might not be required.

I have live patch running on my Cloudron home server as well. So far no issues for the last year or so. No reboot required as well.

So, should Livepatch be deployed on a VPS?

I think so - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/can-i-use-the-canonical-livepatch-service-and-modify-the-kernel-while-it-s-in-use-in-a-droplet

Thanks all!

I just installed it on 1 of my Cloudron servers (at DO) to see and experience if and how it works.
