Updating

AstrOS uses systemd-sysupdate. Use updatectl to update your system:

Terminal window
updatectl update

Use updatectl vacuum in case of the update failing because of previously unfinished updates.

To enable auto-updates run:

Terminal window
systemctl enable --now systemd-sysupdate-update.timer

It triggers the update 15min after boot, and then on average every 6 hours, but randomly distributed.

In addition it updates persistently once on each Saturday, to ensure that even systems that weren’t booted up for a long time have a chance to do the update.

By default, flatpak-update.timer is set up as both a system and a user unit. It updates randomly between 0 and 1 hours after boot, on a daily basis.

Run systemctl (--user) disable flatpak-update.timer to disable it.
