I’m using Manjaro as my media server and it runs headless. Is there a way to auto update all packages on a weekly/monthly basis without user intervention?
I’m looking for something similar to debian’s unattended upgrades, but I’ve searched quite a bit on google, the forums, manjaro wiki, reddit and it doesn’t seem to be a common ask.
Could you please elaborate on why this would break the system? Is this because because Manjaro is based on Arch (i.e. being on the bleeding edge of packages), there is a higher chance of breakage on upgrades?
Not only that, but because this will overwrite any and all affected configs without prompting and make changes you might not have been aware of. I might not be a problem the first time, or thee second time, or even the fifth. But sooner or later it will happen.
Ah - that is cause for concern. Is there a general recommendation what to do in such situations? Do I have to login at least once a month/quarter and update manually?
Thanks for the super fast help! I’d rather have a working system than risk a system that breaks without warning. I guess I’ll just stick to manual updates once a month or so for now and see how I get on.
Appreciate the help. I’ll keep the thread open for a day in case anyone else has any alternative suggestions. If not, will mark it as solved tomorrow .
