I've set up cron jobs in the past which automatically ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but it's sometimes caused things to unpredictably break, especially when you have the backports PPA. After things randomly broke 3 times I decided not to add the backports PPA, and to do manual updates every now and then.

Set up the `unattended-upgrades` to only install security updates, blindly apt-upgrading can lead to unintended consequences; this will let you get security upgrades without breaking 3rd party packages.
