Fellow Fedora Immutable users, have any of you automated your system updates to occur at shutdown? If so, do you find it makes a practical difference?
I’m thinking of doing the same with Tony Walker’s silverblue-update service.
I shutdown most of my machines daily, and that often means getting an updated image shortly after startup the next day and being forced to reboot or nearly always remain one day behind in updates. By checking for updates again at shutdown, this should help ensure I’ve always got the latest daily image at boot. Thoughts?
Thanks, yeah I’ve found a few articles already on running scripts at shutdown…something like this should do it (using Tony Walker’s update script), though I’ve not tested it yet:
/etc/systemd/system/silverblue-update-at-shutdown.service: [Unit] Description=Fedora Silverblue Update at Shutdown ConditionPathExists=/run/ostree-booted DefaultDependencies=no Before=shutdown.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/silverblue-update TimeoutStartSec=0 [Install] WantedBy=shutdown.target
