Comment on How are you keeping on top of fleet updates?
DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 1 year agoYeah - a caching proxy would alleviate the pain on internet link, for sure. So flexo is similar to Unattended Upgrades for Debian, yeah? Automates pacman?

No, Flexo is not like Unattended Upgrades. Flexo just downloads packages in a cache for you to download them locally using pacman as usual. It’s mainly to increase download speeds and decrease doubledownloadsing the same files in one network to different clients. Unattended Upgrades is actually installing security updates automatically without user input. This is by design not supported and not possible on Arch Linux.

Ah, gotcha. Missed that bit about Squid being for Alpine and Debian. Makes more sense now. Cheers.
