It is possible to configure\nindependent configuration profiles that can be run individually either manually\non the command  line, or scheduled using cron jobs. This would allow weekly\nupdates to take place without a reboot, and a monthly patching schedule for the\nkernel and other core services that require a reboot.\n\nAuter is also capable of caching available updates, and subsequently only\ninstalling from the cache. This allows package versions to be synchronized\nacross environments that have different installation dates.\n\nThere are also cases when other options are more suitable:\n - I want to update nightly and handle reboots manually: yum-cron or\n   dnf-automatic\n - I want to manage updates via a central management console: RHN Satellite,\n   or configuration management systems such as Chef or Puppet\n\n## Installation\nAuter is available for RHEL and its derivatives via the EPEL repository.\n```bash\n$ yum/dnf install auter\n```\n\nThere isn't currently a package maintained for Debian, however we provide a\n`.deb` package on the [releases page](https://github.com/rackerlabs/auter/releases).\n\n## Setup\nAll Auter configuration information is stored in `/etc/auter/auter.conf`; it\nallows you to set basic options such as the sleep delay (`MAXDELAY`), and\nwhether automatic reboots should take place (`AUTOREBOOT`).\n\n_More information can be found on the [Wiki](https://github.com/rackerlabs/auter/wiki/Configuration)._\n\n## Usage\nAuter can be run manually:\n```bash\n$ auter --prep\n$ auter --apply\n```\nor via cron:\n```bash\n# Prep Every Friday at 22:00\n0 22 * * Fri root /usr/bin/auter --prep\n# Apply Every Saturday at 23:00\n0 23 * * Sat root /usr/bin/auter --apply\n```\n_For more examples and usage, please refer to the [Wiki]( https://github.com/rackerlabs/auter/wiki/Usage)._\n\n## Contributing\nPlease read\n[HACKING.md](https://github.com/rackerlabs/auter/blob/master/HACKING.md) for\ndetails on how to contribute, and the process for submitting pull requests.\n\n## Maintainers\n- Nick Rhodes\n- Paolo Gigante\n\nSee also the list of original\n[contributors](https://github.com/rackerlabs/auter/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md)\nwho started the project.\n\n## Related projects\n- [Auter Manager](https://github.com/rackerlabs/auter-manager): Simplify the\n  installation of Auter across multiple servers with a single master\n  configuration file written in CSV.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frackerlabs%2Fauter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frackerlabs%2Fauter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frackerlabs%2Fauter/lists"}
