CentOS

Hello!

Might anyone here know how to configure automatic updates in CentOS 8?

In CentOS 7, this would be done by installing the yum-cron package, and configuring automatic updates via the file, /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf, then start and enable the yum-cron systemd unit.

There is no such package as yum-cron in the CentOS 8 repositories, as far as I can tell. I've also searched the repositories for similar packages like dnf-automatic -- no dice. I was not able to find the way to set automatic updates for RHEL 8 or CentOS 8 by searching the web either (it's quite early to find that for CentOS 8, of course).

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide!

You still got the problem? I´ve just searched for the package and found it (Centos Stream):

Code: Select all

~# yum search dnf-automatic
===========================================================================
dnf-automatic.noarch : Package manager - automated upgrades

Don't know from where the package comes, but i only got the following repos enabled:
(standard repos)
CentOS-AppStream.repo
CentOS-centosplus.repo
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo
CentOS-fasttrack.repo
CentOS-PowerTools.repo
CentOS-Vault.repo
CentOS-Base.repo
CentOS-CR.repo
CentOS-Extras.repo
CentOS-Media.repo
CentOS-Sources.repo
(epel for rhel/centos 8)
epel-playground.repo
epel-testing.repo
epel.repo
