What type of hardware are you using: Old laptop or computer What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.17 What app is this about: Unattended Upgrades
Describe your issue
I installed this app but there’s no information about how to configure it, it just says to “have a look” at various config files.
Looking back through the forums it looks like there use to be a dropdown/GUI to configure it but that was removed or something? Because it’s not in my install.
Specifically I’d like it to run security and app upgrades at ~4AM.
Did you configure it during installation using the install questions ?
Or they didn’t show up ?
Right now there is indeed no config panel (the GUI you’re mentioning), so it has to be reconfigured in the config files listed in the admin panel.
That said, one “easier” way to do it is to remove and install again the app, it will ask the configuration option again.
It’s been a while since I installed it so I don’t remember what I did, but it was not upgrading anything, I was doing it all manually. I went ahead and uninstalled, reconfigured and reinstalled. I’ll let you know how that works.
At best, the documentation could be updated, as it still points to a dead link for configuring:
You can configure this app easily by using the experimental config-panel feature
To modify any option of unattended-upgrades, please have a look to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic.
Unattended-upgrades will be executed every day at midnight.
To modify the configuration of apticron, please have a look to /etc/apticron/apticron.conf.
Apticron will be executed, depending of the requested configuration at 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. If you want to change this schedule, please have a look to the cron file /etc/cron.d/apticron.
So does it run at midnight, 8PM or 2AM? I would like to configure it to run at 4AM daily. The last file location (to change the schedule) just says:
cron entry for apticron
Commented because yunohost package unattended_upgrades use systemd config 39 * * * * root if test -x /usr/sbin/apticron; then /usr/sbin/apticron --cron; else true; fi
Which I don’t know how to decode but I don’t want to mess with it.
