Automated Proxmox Host & LXC upgrade script with scheduling #8567

snickerweb started this conversation in Ideas
Discussion options

I’d like to suggest adding a helper script that can automatically perform a complete Proxmox upgrade.

The script should support running via a cronjob and automatically handle:

  • Host: Run apt update && apt distupgrade
  • LXC: Run apt update && apt distupgrade silently, followed by the update command
  • Allow manual scheduling of when the routine should run

And If something broken at Host? Maybe defect grub or Kernel? Who should deal with the shitstorm? It's not uncommon for updates to break, and a dist upgrade should never be performed silently.

I think for private use (homelab) is not a problem. I have more problems when I make bigger version jumps due to manual irregular updates. Am Mi., 22. Okt. 2025 um 12:25 Uhr schrieb CanbiZ ***@***.***

then do an simple script if you need this - its not for this repo. I accept no liability if several servers fail here.

and my second point?
the automatic "update" for the application

no, application more than often come with breaking changes in the new versions. Almost always the script needs to be adjusted for those or the LXC/App will be broken.
