Question serveur update process

[Aldebaron]

Hello
I intend to rent a dedicated server with plesk admin.
I would like to know if I can with plesk onyx easily upgrade or update security of my dedicated server, if possible automatically.
I would avoid typing the lines of code every month for that.
thank you in advance
Best regards

you can find it under: Plesk Panel > Tools & Settings > System Updates > Settings > general & safe updates
and this Doku should answer your question in detail: Plesk Updates & System Updates (Plesk for Linux only)

Thank you very much, I did not know this feature.
It looks very complete and safe. I had been told about KernelCare as an extension.
Which system do you prefer?
Plesk update or Kernelcare.
Thank you very much...
Best regards

for Kernelcare see: KernelCare extension - Plesk

What does KernelCare do?
KernelCare is a service that provides automated kernel security updates to your running kernel alleviating the need to reboot the server.

KernelCare would be considered "OS" updates.
Plesk updates... well, Plesk updates.

You'd use them in tandem.

Wait if I understand the update proposed by plesk but not only updated plesk and not the operating system.
Plesk update
Ach nein...

I have now looked at both options. I am confused and indecisive now. I just want to easily update operating system by the least external intervention as possible. Kernelcare is a paid extension, it's not a problem but an oversight is always possible

Actually there are three different update types
a) Plesk software updates (that's the Plesk application and the extensions)
b) operating system updates (e.g. applications like bind, PHP modules etc.)
c) kernel updates (these will normally not be done by the "safe update" of Plesk as they normally require a reboot.
The last option (c) can be done with KernelCare if you do not wish to reboot the server, but this does not really have a lot to do with Plesk other than that Plesk has a KernelCare extension.

so, it is better that i buy kernelcare and that i also face doing the automatic plesk updates. The best choice in your opinion is the combination of both applications.
Thank you for your answer
