I’ve been running it on a Debian VPS for years as a test. So far not a single problem, although I don’t let it reboot on its own (I do monthly reboots, that I am thinking of changing to fortnightly).
Comment on PSA: unattended-upgrades restarted nginx in the middle of my stream

Unattended upgrade?
Why? Specially on critical systems?
If you do such upgrades, schedule for a time you don’t use the system at very least …

same here on the reboots, I never let it reboot on its own either. for me the reboot wasn’t the problem, it was needrestart bouncing nginx and postgres right after the upgrade, which you only notice if something long lived is running at that moment, like a stream lol

There’s few apps I can think of that fail when the service restarts. At worst Jellyfin and Home Asssistant take a minute or so to be available again. The former usually does not pose a problem because of client side caching while streaming. HA would be quite annoying, altough lights etc would keep their current state so it’s unlikely I’d even notice.
That said I don’t use unattended upgrades.
Yeah problem is when upgrades break stuff…

it’s a single cheap VPS that only I look after, so I’d rather get security patches the same day than remember to log in and do it, I guess that’s the tradeoff. and yeah you’re right about scheduling, that was the whole fix, the default timer runs around 6 UTC plus up to an hour of random delay and that happened to land on top of the stream. moved it to the afternoon and it’s been quiet since
