apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Well, you can use the commands as much as you like, but if nothing has been updated in the repos then it doesn't do any good.

Is there some reason you don't treat your Proxmox server like a server? Sounds you like are running it like a desktop.

You could just install the unattended-upgrades package and configure it to install security and bug fix updates automatically in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

please use

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

and never "upgrade", this can be potentially dangerous (as we sometimes add/remove/change dependencies)
