PSA: unattended-upgrades restarted nginx in the middle of my stream (lemmy.world)

Small thing but it got me last week. I relay my stream to twitch through nginx-rtmp on a cheap VPS, and one morning unattended-upgrades pulled a new systemd, needrestart restarted nginx (and postgres, and everything else) and the stream dropped. OBS reconnected fast but twitch counted it as two streams.

default timer is 06:00 UTC + up to 1h random, which is exactly when I stream lol. moved it with a drop-in:

# systemctl edit apt-daily-upgrade.timer
[Timer]
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=*-*-* 13:45:00 UTC
RandomizedDelaySec=15m

the empty OnCalendar= matters, without it you just add a second time and keep the old one.

anyone else got bitten by this?

512mb and getting killed every morning at the same time sounds like a fun one to track down lol. a fixed weekly slot like your tuesday evening is probably the sanest setup honestly, I just know I'd forget.

I have some of my works colleagues join and we all do system updates and talk crap for the evening, its a great way to help others sort things

that's actually a nice idea, updating with people around makes it way less of a chore, and someone always knows the weird fix. I'd probably steal it if I had more than one box to look after.

What timezone are you?

I'm in the UK, kick off it about 7:45

[–] ultimaluz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

spain, so CEST till tomorrow actually, the 13:45 UTC slot is 15:45 for me. 7:45 with people around sounds way nicer than my timer lol
