$ sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades $ sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodicSet the following:
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "7";
Where the number is the frequency (in days)
$ sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgradesUnattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {

"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";

// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};
In order to automatically upgrade custom packages do the following:
- Look in
/var/lib/apt/lists/to find the custom package that you want to update. It should end withReleasee.g./var/lib/apt/lists/files.freeswitch.org_repo_deb_debian_dists_wheezy_InRelease - Open up the file
$ nano /var/lib/apt/lists/files.freeswitch.org_repo_deb_debian_dists_wheezy_InRelease - Look for the
OriginandSuiteentries. e.g.Origin: freeswitchSuite: stableand note these values. - Edit the unattended upgrades configuration again.
$ sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades - Add an entry for the
originandsuitein the configuration
E.g.
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
"freeswitch:stable";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};
This will reboot the server if required automatically.
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time "19:00"; // Optional
Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "[email protected]";

This is the only thing I found that worked. Thanks!
