== Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Install the [package]_dnf-automatic_ package:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
sudo dnf install dnf-automatic
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Edit the [filename]`/etc/dnf/automatic.conf` configuration file as needed. See the https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automatic.html[DNF Automatic] documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
. Enable and start the `systemd` timer:
|
|
+
|
|
[literal,subs="+quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now _timer_
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
Replace `_timer_` with one of following ones depending on what action you want to do:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
* `dnf-automatic-install.timer` to download and install packages
|
|
* `dnf-automatic-download.timer` to only download packages
|
|
* `dnf-automatic-notifyonly.timer` to only get a notification using configured emitters in the [filename]`/etc/dnf/automatic.conf` file.
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
For example:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic-install.timer
|
|
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/dnf-automatic-install.timer → /usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf-automatic-install.timer.
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Ensure that the timer has been successfully enabled and started:
|
|
+
|
|
[literal,subs="+quotes,attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
sudo systemctl status _timer_
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
Replace `_timer_` with the timer from the previous step, for example:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
sudo systemctl status dnf-automatic-install.timer
|
|
● dnf-automatic-install.timer - dnf-automatic-install timer
