When to reboot Proxmox (VE) Host

[thulle]

Hello, and merry christmas and happy newyear to all.

I am fairly new to Proxmox so please be patient

When I make update/Upgrade of the Proxmox (VE) host I am not sure if reboot is needed every time or if I wil get a "Reboot Needed" when it is needed.

What do other do?

As of now I reboot all 8 VE host every time.

Kind regards

mostly, when you have a kernel upgrade.

For virtual machine, if you have a pve-qemu-kvm package update, you need to stop/start the vm or live migrate it to an upgraded node, to have new version working.

OK.
But there are no "Rebbot required" or anything to sort of guide you ?

How long should I wait until any ofthese 10 services gets restarted without manual intervention? Usually I do not wait...

Just for the sake of completeness: 20 h later (and after cron.daily did its job) I see that two of those 10 services got restarted:

root@pm0:~# needrestart  -rl -b  | grep -c service ; needrestart -rl -b | grep pve.*service
46
NEEDRESTART-SVC: pve-cluster.service
NEEDRESTART-SVC: pve-firewall.service
NEEDRESTART-SVC: pve-ha-crm.service
NEEDRESTART-SVC: pve-ha-lrm.service
NEEDRESTART-SVC: pve-lxc-syscalld.service
NEEDRESTART-SVC: pvedaemon.service...
