Update XOA OS via apt update?
-
Is it recommended to update the XOA VM using
apt update? The XOA updates via the webui (XOA->Updates page) do not contain OS level updates, only the XO server parts. -
@Forza This isn't needed because the XOA VM is already performing these OS updates using
unattended-upgrade. -

apt update+apt upgrade? -
The latest XOA release is based on Debian 12. If your XOA is using an earlier version of Debian, then you should deploy a new instance of XOA to switch to the newer Debian version.

@Danp It is on Debian 12. I was just not aware if updates to the XOA base OS was a thing or not. It is not mentioned in the docs as far as I could look up.

We have unintended updates configure in theory.
-
@olivierlambert unintended? Do you mean it is updating by itself even though it was not intended?

I think Olivier meant "unattended".

Sorry, typo, after 12h of flight, and 9h of jetlag.

Haha, quite the difference
If I understand correctly:
- unattended-upgrade is being run in the background by default.
- apt is not using XO proxy settings, so it needs to be manually added to
apt.conf. - this "feature" isn't documented?
A side note. I wanted to update the kernel to see if it helps the networking speed (EPYC fix). I tried to install linux-image-6.12, but it says it isn't possible due to too old
linux-base. -
Indeed, there's no doc because at first glance it's managed automatically. Indeed, when you have a proxy, it will fail. It's completely separated from any XO stuff.

@thomas-dkmt we might need to make sure XO docs tell how system updates are handled and proxy config
