These python scripts upgrades your ubuntu server and they may also restart your server (if preferred).
The scripts are tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS. The scripts will probably also work with other Debian variants of linux.
The scripts may also send notifications via email or slack, or using a custom function.
git clone https://github.com/diversen/ubuntu-auto-upgrade-py.git
cd ubuntu-auto-upgrade-py
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create config file:
cp config_dist.py config.py
You may edit restart which determines if the server should restart when needed. Default is to restart.
You may also alter the send_message function. This function is called when the server is upgraded or
if the server is restarted (or if it needs to be restarted).
You may remove the send_message function if you do not want to send any messages.
Set the script up as a cron script. E.g. let it run every 10 minute or once a week.
You will need to let the script run as root. Edit crontab as sudo:
sudo crontab -e
Add a crontab line and remember to change to your own source path.
The following will run the script every 10 minutes:
*/10 * * * * cd /home/dennis/ubuntu-auto-upgrade-py && ./venv/bin/python cron.py
Logs are written to logs/main.log. The log file will be created if it does not exist.
