Hi,
How can I setup automatic updates in OMV?
I'd like to be able to schedule the installation of all the packages (once per month) that are shown in the `Update Management` section in the webUI.
Thanks

not possible ATM, only implemented for security updates starting with version 5.6.3
There is an open issue for this feature in github that you may want to support via a reaction

Alright, but can't I just use some standard cron job to update debian like `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade`?
What is the implication of that vs using the webUI's approach?

You do not see if something goes not as expected, which might happen in rare cases.

Even if you do run apt update && apt upgrade (or simply omv-upgrade) as a cron job, if it stops for any reason and prompts for user input, then... well, you have an issue.
As for me, if I'm not on my computer anyway, I open an SSH prompt from my phone or tablet, run the upgrade and call it a day.

Interesting! Do you have to manually enable this automatic update for security?

No. Security updates are installed automatically. If email notification is enabled, you'll also get an notification if 'normal' updates are available.

I've been running omv-upgrade as a cron for almost a year, no problems.
For all containers I'm using watchtower for the same period of time, and that works good to..
Both run weekly AFTER a compete backup of the VM running OMV.
So all my stuff is always updated, and so far so good
