OS Updates via apt update or apt upgrade [SOLVED]

[SecCon]

I am very aware that KeyHelp do not recommend doing any system upgrades if not via https://www.keyweb.de/en/support/learn- ... s-upgrades the OS upgrade scripts.
But what about minor updates? Can we use the OS update function at all or is it meant to be NEVER unless an upgrade is available via the link above?

I am currently running an on premises KeyHelp in a Virtual Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 in Proxmox.

apt-get update & apt-get upgrade are running automatically every night as you can see at "Settings->Maintenance Intervals->Update server services".

Thanks...

Still learning the interface, and that would exclude any CLI based updating or handling, from what I understand.

And this of course, which makes perfect sense

If you see any pending updates on the dashboard page, which remain even after this job has run, these are updates that require a manual call to the "apt-get dist-upgrade" command.

Hmm, but also this

Updates for 4 software packages are available.
KeyHelp performs automatic system updates at regular intervals.
If you see pending updates at this point after such an update, it means that some updates have been held back. These types of updates potentially affect the functionality of the installed services. To ensure smooth operation, such updates are not automatically installed.
However, you can install such updates yourself using the console command apt-get dist-upgrade.

So CLI is ok after all...

As a general rule: Just do not perform major operating system upgrades manually. Always use the provided upgrade scripts when updating from:

Debian 11 -> Debian 12
Debian 12 -> Debian 13
...
Ubuntu 22 -> Ubuntu 24
Ubuntu 24 -> Ubuntu 26
...

Minor updates within the the same operating system major versions are fine and you can perform them as often as you like.

Thank you, Sir...
