Hi,
I do believe from time to time there are important updates that need you to reboot your server, but how often? I’m thinking about kernel updates, let’s say every month… What are you practices and recommendations?

I have a script that runs nightly via cron, it checks if a reboot is required through needrestart, logs the action and reboots the host if required (kernel update or glibc update): https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/blob/master/roles/monitoring_netdata/files/usr_local_bin_needrestart-autorestart
Nightly is a baseline, if requirements dictate that the host should not reboot without warning at 5am, I adjust the cron expression.
