                                Spent my morning figuring out why Nginx was dead on a server with many days of uptime. No reboot, no kernel panic. Just... down. Ubuntu 24.04.

                                The cause? An automatic unattended-upgrade of libc6. This prompted systemd to work its magic, wisely deciding to restart every running service to apply the patch. Fine.

                                The problem is, in the exact same minute, the systemd timer for certbot decided it was time to renew certificates.

                                The result:

                                - systemd stops Nginx.
                                - Port 80 becomes free.
                                - certbot, in standalone mode, immediately grabs it for validation.
                                - systemd tries to restart Nginx, which fails with "Address already in use".

                                The web server was knocked offline by its own certificate renewal script.

                                I swear, this is the kind of cascading failure that has never happened to me in years of running *BSD. With a classic cron job, certbot would have failed, logged an error, and tried again the next day. The web server would have remained untouched.

                                systemd was doing its job, but something failed because of the interactions.

                                Sometimes, too much automation and too many interconnected parts just create more spectacular ways for things to break.

                                                    What would you think about a new API endpoint that lets you run unattended upgrades with a simple call like:

                                                    /nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade
                                                    At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like or , or automating the process with over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.
                                                    I have already been running this approach on several internal clusters since the release of PVE 8 without issues. Now I am interested to hear if you would use unattended upgrades in general or if you are already running them today.

                                                      Some applications that enable this are gpm and consolation.

                                                      consolation worked better for me, especially when in tmux; however, I still can't get scrolling with middle button and trackpoint to work, which is what would be the most useful for me. I don't know if it has to do with consolation, tmux mouse bindings, my particular ThinkPad model, etc. I can't find anything online about this, so if you've also dabbled in this, please share your experience!
