Auto updates

Hey, it's my understanding that ublue images come with auto updating configured out of the box. I can see that my GH actions have successfully gone off, there is a new latest image, but I haven't gotten any updates pending. rpm-ostree status does show that the automatic update timer was last run 11m ago.

automaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: last run 11min ago

automaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: last run 11min ago

My recipie https://github.com/matt-savvy/bluebuild/blob/main/recipes/recipe.yml Am I just looking in the wrong place? Thanks

Updates only get applied after you reboot. Did you do that?

matt_savvyOP•2mo ago

Yup, I've rebooted Is there somewhere I would be able to see any updates that are "on deck" to be applied at the next reboot? I've used bluebuild switch , could that be part of it? I've just gone ahead and updated with the current latest in my registry with bootc switch, I'll check in some time after the next build runs and see if there is anything to see

Luke Skywunker•2mo ago

bootc status and rpm-ostree status should provide that information

piggybacking here - is there a ujust alternative to the above?

Luke Skywunker•2mo ago

You can create some of your own systemd units to do this with timers. I can link you guys an example of how I handle it

I think the automatic updates are working. Today when I ran rpm-ostree status, I had a new version staged

Luke Skywunker•2mo ago

Cool!

I should check it as well in 10 days when I back home. Every time I had to run it manually despite the stage mood. Would be great to have a notification if there are new updates and if these have been successfully installed (maybe it should already happen but I rarely see these notifications). Also I have very instable internet connection and usually an update needs me to re run the upgrade command 3 4 times because unfortunately when the connection goes down the command stops working... At least it doesn't re-start from zero

Taking a look at this again. Looking at your linked updates.yml, you have 4 items listed here, but in the source dir, I only see files for bootc-update

files/bootc-update/
├── bootc-fetch-apply-updates.service
└── bootc-fetch-apply-updates.timer

files/bootc-update/
├── bootc-fetch-apply-updates.service
└── bootc-fetch-apply-updates.timer

I'm guessing it's because your base already includes what it needs for these ones :

        - ublue-update.timer
        - uupd.timer
        - rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer

        - ublue-update.timer
        - uupd.timer
        - rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer

Is that right? The automatic updates WERE working fine for me and then stopped at some point recently. I think it was right around when bluefin (which I'm using as my base) changed silverblue 42 from being its latest to its GTS

Luke Skywunker•5w ago

Yeah I disabled the ublue updater cause it was causing me issues. I just use the bootc one to update masked makes it so that it's disabled no matter who has it enabled

matt_savvyOP•5w ago

Hmm, okay, so as long as I copy that bootc-update dir from your files, I should be good to go, right? As in, the rest of this updates.yml will work, there's not any other service/timer files from your config I'd need to track down

Luke Skywunker•5w ago

It's only for bootc, but yeah

matt_savvyOP•5w ago

Cool, I'll give that a shot
