All I need to automate updates is a cron job I'm using this on two Devuan machines at the office. Works fine for me. Apart from running the `apt upgrade` it can also check for the need to reboot and provides a number of knobs to fine tune when, how and under what conditions to upgrade/reboot. Of course, you are free to invent a better wheel ;-) BTW, on Devuan I did run into an issue because of a missing dependency that didn't happen on Debian courtesy of systemd. Can't seem to find the bug report I filed way back when at the moment but it was rather unceremoniously closed.
