given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

This module sets up automatic updates in the system. It is easy to use module with one scheduled job and email support.

This module offers unified simplified way to handle automatic updates in Debian-like and RedHat-like systems.

On Debian cron-apt tool is used.

On RedHat yum-autoupdate tool is used (using aco-yum_autoupdate puppet module).

Debian

  • cron-apt package installed
  • /etc/cron-apt/config
  • */etc/cron-apt/action.d/**
  • /etc/cron.d/cron-apt - removed
  • crontab

RedHat

See https://github.com/antoineco/aco-yum_autoupdate#setup.

Example: default parameters without email notification

  email      => 'email@example.com',
  hour       => 7,
  minute     => 0,
  randomwait => 1200,
}

Update at random time 7:00 - 7:20 each day and send email notification, if someting was updated.

####email Email to sent notifications. Default is undef.
