Updates (automate or switch to different mode)

Ask Fedora

Hi,
I knew Fedora would frequently update and it does that daily. I didn’t think it would need a restart every time. I selected automatic updating in the settings, but still I have to download the updates in Discovery and then restart manually.
Is there a way to automate that process? Or can I switch to a different update schedule?

Fedora offers the dnf-automatic package, which allows you to automate the process of downloading and installing updates. Configure automatic updates by editing the /etc/dnf/automatic.conf file. You can adjust settings such as download-only mode, apply updates, and more.

Thanks, that seems a solution. I will look into this and try to configure it!

(I found this manual: DNF Automatic — DNF @DNF_VERSION@-1 documentation)
