unattended-upgrades forced to check daily #241

Closed chobbs- closed 3 years ago

chobbs- commented 5 years ago

Cookbook version

7.1.1

Chef-client version

14

Platform Details

Ubuntu 16.04

Scenario:

My understanding of the values in 20auto-upgrade is that rather than the values being expected as 1/0 to enable/disable, the integer is used to specify the interval of these actions. Currently using this cookbook I am unable to configure the unattended-upgrades interval. The attribute in the cookbook to enable unattended-upgrades is true/false which allows the template file 20auto-upgrades to be configured with a 1 or 0 only. This forces either disabling auto updates OR run daily with no other choice.

Current Functionality:

Using current cookbook

default['apt']['unattended_upgrades']['enable'] = true
default['apt']['unattended_upgrades']['update_package_lists'] = true

Populates the template file 20auto-upgrades with:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

What should happen:

The attributes should be configurable with an integer to denote "check every N days".

For instance, update package list and run unattended-upgrades every 7 days:

default['apt']['unattended_upgrades']['enable'] = 7
default['apt']['unattended_upgrades']['update_package_lists'] = 7

Populates the template file 20auto-upgrades with:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "7";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "7";
