Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates?

update means something like

sudo dnf update

or something …

apt-get upgrade
apt-get update

    Anything exposed to the internet gets a daily / weekly update, depending on how exposed it is, how stable the updates are and how critical a breach would be. For example nginx would be a daily update.

    Anything behind a vpn gets a more random update schedule mostly based on when I feel like it (probably around once a month or every other month)
