Automated Bash installer script for configuring unattended updates on Ubuntu 24.04 Server.
> **IMPORTANT**
> This script configures unattended updates with the following defaults:
> - Installs and updates all available packages
> - Installs security updates automatically
> - Creates a crontab entry to run updates every **Saturday at 04:00**
> **Optional Features**
> - Enable removal of unused packages
> - Enable automatic reboot if needed
> - Enable automatic reboot even if users are logged in
> **NOTE**
> Before running the script, decide whether you want to enable the optional features mentioned above. The lines to review in the code are shown below:
```
#
# Uncomment the next 2 lines to enable automatic removal of unused packages. This equals apt autoremove.
#
# sed -i '/Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies/ s/^\/\/\s*//' "$config2"
# sed -i 's/Remove-Unused-Dependencies "false"/Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true"/' "$config2"
#
# Uncomment the next 2 lines to enable automatic reboot
#
# sed -i '/Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot/ s/^\/\/\s*//' "$config2"
# sed -i 's/Automatic-Reboot "false"/Automatic-Reboot "true"/' "$config2"
#
# Uncomment the line below to enable automatic reboot even if users are logged in
#
# sed -i '/Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-WithUsers/ s/^\/\/\s*//' "$config2"
```
