Description

Arch systems can schedule unattended upgrades while following the project maintenance guidance more closely than a blind package update. The package installs configuration files, sudo rules, hooks, and a systemd timer.

Enable the timer only after reading the policy and testing recovery. Automatic upgrades can break services, consume bandwidth, require reboot handling, or run privileged package commands.

How to run

unattended-arch-upgrade.timer
