Hey #Proxmox community! I would like to hear your thoughts on how you usually update your Proxmox nodes and clusters. How do you handle minor Proxmox and #Debian package upgrades with #APT?

What would you think about a new API endpoint that lets you run unattended upgrades with a simple call like:

/nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade

At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like #Spacewalk or #QualvoSec, or automating the process with #Ansible over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as #ProxLB to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.
I have already been running this approach on several internal clusters since the release of PVE 8 without issues. Now I am interested to hear if you would use unattended upgrades in general or if you are already running them today.

"Aug 8, 2025 #apt #gaza #netherlands
Tensions ran high in The Hague as pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the Dutch parliament demanding a halt to arms exports to Israel and denouncing what they described as genocide in Gaza. The demonstration escalated as wheat was thrown at security forces and at least one arrest was made.
Inside parliament, a heated debate was underway on whether the Netherlands should impose a full arms embargo on Israel. The controversy deepened after Dutch authorities denied entry to Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir—sparking outrage in Tel Aviv and further dividing Dutch politicians.
With over 30,000 Palestinians killed and northern Gaza flattened by Israeli bombardment, public pressure is mounting on European governments to act. As Dutch lawmakers argue over policy, the streets of The Hague echo with cries for justice, peace, and accountability."
