All options are configured in the "[Daemon]" section. Available options are: AutomaticUpdatePolicy= Controls the automatic update policy. Currently "none" or "check". "none" disables automatic updates. "check" downloads just enough metadata to check for updates and display them in rpm-ostree status. Defaults to "none". Automatic updates enablement and frequency are controlled by the rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer unit. See systemd.timer5 for more information on how to control systemd timers. IdleExitTimeout= Controls the time in seconds of inactivity before the daemon exits. Use 0 to disable auto-exit. Defaults to 60. Enabling the automatic updates "check" policy is a two step process. First, edit /etc/rpm-ostreed.conf to include AutomaticUpdatePolicy=check and then use rpm-ostree reload to reload the rpm-ostreed service. Next, enable the timer using systemctl enable rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer --now When successful, the output from rpm-ostree status will display output similar to the following: $ rpm-ostree status State: idle; auto updates enabled (check; last run 22min ago) ... rpm-ostree1
