Well, doesn’t that depend on your package manager? With pacman I can add a custom hook after install to update all flatpaks. I’m sure it could also be done for all snaps and AppImages if I would use any of those.

Isn’t there a similar hooking mechanism in apt or yum?

Don’t forget about timecop

I would have expected to see this story way higher in this thread!

We cannot forget about the wiki, which is a great resource for not only the Arch distro, but for any Linux install.

Is there a way to follow the update status while this instance is down?

I knew the update was coming, so I expected the downtime, but I could not find any info about when it was expected to be up and running again?

Thanks for the great and ongoing work put into managing this endeavor!
