= APK Automatic Updates

The aim of *apk-autoupdate* is to keep the system up-to-date.

It checks available updates, installs them and restarts affected services.

The tool is intended to be executed automatically and regularly by cron or similar tool.

apk-autoupdate is designed to be flexible and highly customizable.

Its configuration file is based on shell and provides many hooks allowing you to adjust each step to your needs (see link:man/autoupdate.conf.5.adoc[autoupdate.conf(5)]).
