Docs regarding updates is here: https://yunohost.org/fr/update

sudo yunohost tools update : Fetches all updates, whether they are system or app related. sudo yunohost app upgrade nextcloud : To update one app, When running and app is already up to date, return code is 0. Could design a cron task for trying to update app every day. sudo yunohost tools upgrade apps && sudo yunohost tools upgrade system : To run apps and system updates.

We could design a cron task that runs everyday and tries to update all YNH apps. The task could be a script or simply sudo yunohost tools upgrade apps.

What do you think about that? @cchaudier @thomas_michel

I think we can do all day (@daily) in a root cron :

yunohost tools update
yunohost tools upgrade system
yunohost tools upgrade apps

And log into a file

Log in a file is essential (>> /var/log/ynh_updates.log 2>&1).

Regarding 6 years of Nextcloud apps auto-updates (and not Nextcloud auto-update! Be carefull!), errors appears regularly but in minor ways. BUT, Nextcloud update is risky at many levels and we should be careful with this.

Don't worry, sudo yunohost app upgrade nextcloud was just an example but I see what you mean ;) Ok for logs.

I have just found out that YNH already creates logs when a system / app update is performed (in .log and .yml) so it's not really useful to create logs somewhere else.

Logs can be displayed in > Yunohost web admin panel > Outils > Journaux or in /var/log/yunohost/categories/operation

Ok, good to know.
