Server Maintenance

H&D's VPS usually run on GNU/Linux Debian distribution.

Updating the system once a week (or every two weeks) is kinda good. It's good to cross-check the Debian mailing-list (debian-lts-announce@lists.debian.org) beforehand to see if anything major needs a security update or particular care.

To upgrade the system, your unix user needs to be in the sudo group. Following the basic process:

- sudo apt update , upgrade local db packages

- sudo apt list --upgradable , show upgradable packages

- sudo apt upgrade , upgrade packages

To list all installed packages, run:

apt list --installed
