[SOLVED] Disable daily apt update

[mtis]

I have an offline proxmox environment. I use the offline mirror tool when I need to update the system. This is held on external media and is only occasionally attached and reachable by the nodes. How do I stop the daily check as it’s polluting the task log with failed tasks each night? I’ve tried disabling the apt-daily.timer and apt-daily-update.timer but no joy.

Thanks.

There is also a pve-daily-update.timer which runs once a day.

You probably want systemctl stop (stops current run) & sytemctl disable (disables being reloaded on reboot) on ALL the above timers. For good measure also do a systemctl daemon-reload afterwards.

systemctl disable --now does both in one step.

Note that this command does not implicitly stop the units that are being disabled. If this is desired, either combine this command with the --now switch, or invoke the stop command with appropriate arguments later.

I’ll try this one, thanks.

This worked, thank you
