Configure Q4OS/Debian updates to be installed automatically

Let's see how to configure Q4OS/Debian updates to be installed with no manual intervention, bypassing update manager.

You need "unattended upgrades" service installed and running:
$ sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
Check:
$ sudo systemctl status unattended-upgrades.service

Edit the file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades" and enable upgrades:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

For more info and fine tuning, see:

Re: Configure Q4OS/Debian updates to be installed automatically

hi, good idea just did that... I'm interested if there will be any sign that update was made or something?
