Hauseigenes Apt-Repo: https://apt.iteas.at

Die automatische Installation der Updates wird von unattended-upgrades übernommen. Dieses speichert Logdateien im Verzeichnis /var/log/unattended-upgrades/. Sollte versucht werden den Computer herunterzufahren, während unattended-upgrades arbeitet, verzögert der gleichnamige Dienst dies so lange wie nötig, sodass das Herunterfahren länger dauert. Das ist wichtig, damit keine unvollständig installierten oder konfigurierten Pakete hinterlassen werden.

Um unattended-upgrades manuell (ohne GUI) zu aktivieren, muss man die Datei /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic oder je nach Release /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades bearbeiten, sodass sie mindestens diese Einträge enthält: Anzahl in Tagen.

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "30";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "7";

Die Zeilen erklären sich wohl von alleine. Die Configdatei hierfür wäre z.B. (Ubuntu 16.04.2) das: nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

Hier kann man sich die Dinge einstellen die man benötigt.

Bei 18.04 passiert das schon automatisch. Kernels werden von Debian basierendes Distributionen leider nie automatisch entfernt. Es gibt hierfür auch keine Option. War vom Hersteller bis jetzt nicht vorgesehen. Abhilfe zusammen mit dem obigen Updateverfahren verschafft uns DPKG mit dem wir fast alles bewerkstelligen können.

Dieses kleine Script speichern wir unter „/usr/local/bin/kernelpurge“ ab, machen es ausführbar, und stellen es im Crontab so ein das es bei jedem Boot ausgeführt wird. Das macht Sinn da wir ja bei den automatischen Updates auch Autoreboot aktiviert haben. Somit bleibt das System auch vor zu vielen alten Kernels verschont.

kernelpurge

#!/bin/bash
dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs  apt-get -y purge

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kernelpurge
echo "@reboot root  /usr/local/bin/kernelpurge #Löscht alle alten Linuxkernels" >> /etc/crontab
