ubuntu install security updates only

just run:

sudo unattended-upgrade

config file is located at: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

This command will enable the automatic security update:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades

  1. Thanks for writing this up.

    I had to install the unattended-upgrades package first:

    sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades
