How To Auto Update Ubuntu Servers (with Email Notifications)
thekernal.xyzIf you are a tech savvy Linux user, chances are you are self hosting a couple services on either your main machine, a Raspberry Pi, an older Laptop/PC, or even a VPS. I myself have a server seeding various Torrents, running a TOR relay, OpenVPN, and even Nextcloud. However, it can be a little annoying having to SSH into your server every day just to run a simple ‘apt update && apt upgrade’. Sometimes, you just want to set it and forget it. But luckily, if you’re like me and use Ubuntu for your servers, you can quite easily have automatic updates applied every day. So, I am going to show you how you can install and get automatic updates, with the ability to send notifications directly to your Email.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
