It will then be possible to add and enable some features provided by unattended updates. For example, we can set up an email notification for each update, allow automatic removal of unused packages (apt autoremove automatically) and enable automatic restart if necessary.įor email notifications, remove the comment from the following line: Unattended-Upgrade::Mail 'root' In this section, just as an example, we will not allow ‘vim’, ‘mysql-server’ and ‘mysql-client’ to be updated, in this case, our blacklist configuration should be similar to the following structure:

This is useful when we do not want specific packages to be updated within the operating system. There we can define which packages are allowed for an update and which are not. In the second block, there is the packet configuration of the blacklist. In the configuration of the first block “Allowed-Origins,” we will comment on all the lines and leave only the security line in the following way: The unattended update package provides some automatic updates, including the update of all packages and only security updates. In this case, we’re just going to enable the security update for Ubuntu 17.10. It will be necessary to define a type of update and upgrade to the operating system.
