Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates?

update means something like

sudo dnf update

or something …

apt-get upgrade
apt-get update

    I wish I could use unattended-upgrade.

    It literally restarts my server even when I disable the option, leaving it hung if the USB boot key isn’t in there.

    I had to stop using it, so now I just manually upgrade because that doesn’t auto-restart without my permission…

      unattended-upgrades doesn’t do that unless you explicitly specify Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true"; in the config. Check /usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README.md.gz

      The main configuration file is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades, maybe you put your config in the wrong place?

      here is mine
