I want to keep a server up to date, but also not force a restart of things like docker or all of systemd, which would affect running containers of a running system.
What software would be good to put on ignore for this, and do manually/scripted when needed.
I'm thinking:
What else could be on here?
Relevant to Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.
I don't think Unattended Upgrades restarts anything in the default configuration. It updates software on disk but the new versions won't be applied until you restart the relevant running software by yourself (whether manually or according to your own automations/scripts).
U-U can be configured to automatically reboot the entire system after upgrading, but I don't think it can do restarts for individual services. (That will require U-U to know about individual service configs, something that will make the tool too complicated.)
Will be glad to be corrected if I'm mistaken.
