  This is the way! At least install security upgrades nightly using unattended-upgrades and reboot from time to time to get the latest Kernel version.

  Once per week for me. Works really great on openSUSE MicroOS. Had to roll back maybe a couple of times the last few years.

  That said, I run basically everything in containers so the OS installed things are lean.

  I wish I could use unattended-upgrade.

  It literally restarts my server even when I disable the option, leaving it hung if the USB boot key isn’t in there.

  I had to stop using it, so now I just manually upgrade because that doesn’t auto-restart without my permission…

    unattended-upgrades doesn’t do that unless you explicitly specify //Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot “true”; in the config. Check /usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README.md.gz

    The main configuration file is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades, maybe you put your config in the wrong place?

    here is mine

  Tell me you’re using nightly builds as well.
