Depending on how you have it installed you could have your package management system automatically install the updates. They aren't always perfect though, I've had at least one Gitlab update that required manually running migrations commands since the ones in the update script failed for some reason. I wouldn't trust doing it automatically.
And I'm not sure about gitlab, but their are often mailing lists for security updates for major software packages.
- buildbuildbuild 5y agoThanks for the productive response. I was using Watchtower in Docker Compose on all instances, but I had it misconfigured. My fault for assuming auto updates were working without verifying, lesson learned.
- gnramires 5y agoI highly recommend debian's auto update feature (works on derivatives): https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-to-configure-automated-security-updates-debian/ https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-to-configure-automate... I've never had any problems with it, although I just run a couple of servers :). If everyone enabled this one thing I'm sure the Internet would be significantly safer. Obs: You can select security updates only which I believe are unlikely to break anything!
