How often should you reboot a production webserver?
How often should you reboot a production webserver?
Specifically, a dedicated server running Debian 12.
After a monthly sudo apt upgrade? (Is a monthly upgrade even necessary?)
Never? (unless there is a security update?)
Edit: I may be missing kernel upgrades. Those are probably good... I can't remember if I installed a LTS kernel. I imagine it would be unsecure to post an exact kernel version, however.
You're viewing a single thread.
You should upgrade for security updates every six hours and reboot on every kernel upgrade
So you have cron handle your reboots?
I use unattended-upgrades on Debian to upgrade and reboot when necessary.
is that safe? ever had issues with updating production automatically?
I never had any issues with that
