Automatic update management

  • 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

    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?

  • 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. :)

  • 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 :)
