From e35130bcf099a82afbeaac5b807ebee712b4125d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Austin S. Hemmelgarn" Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 07:07:18 -0400 Subject: Added improved auto-update support. (#9966) * Add systemd timer unit to handle auto updates. This adds a systemd timer unit and associated service for running the updaterscript. This allows better support for auto-updates on systems that use systemd, removing the need for cron or special shims to handle periodic tasks. This will be used in preference to our existing auto-update support on systems running systemd unless the user overrides this behavior. * Add an option to the installer to override auto-updater type detection. This allows users to specify what auto-updater scheduling mechanism to use. This wil persist the selection to updates as well. Supported values are: * systemd': Uses a systemd timer unit and service to handle automatic updates. * 'interval': Uses a script in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/periodic/daily. * `crontab`: Uses a crontab file in /etc/cron.d. * Change priority of systemd support. This way existing users won't get converted, and by default you'll still get emails on failures. * Case-normalize the value passed to --auto-update-type. * Fix incorrect naming of crontab file. * Fixed function naming. --- system/netdata-updater.timer | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) create mode 100644 system/netdata-updater.timer (limited to 'system/netdata-updater.timer') diff --git a/system/netdata-updater.timer b/system/netdata-updater.timer new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8b36e46ff4 --- /dev/null +++ b/system/netdata-updater.timer @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +[Unit] +Description=Daily auto-updates for Netdata +RefuseManualStart=no +RefuseManualStop=no + +[Timer] +Persistent=false +OnCalendar=daily +Unit=netdata-updater.service + +[Install] +WantedBy=timers.target -- cgit v1.2.3
