Did you have Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot set to true? If so,
set it to false. Similarly
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-WithUsers.

You can file a bug report yourself.

You could also write a wrapper for octoprint which disables
unattended-upgrades, runs octopprint, then enables unattended-upgrades.

With my luck and systemd doing as it DW pleases, what guarantee do I have that systemd won't re-enable it?  At one point long ago WE were masters of our machines, now Leonard thinks he is master of all & WE don't count or care.

Take care and stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

You could change over to Devuan which is Debian without systemd.

Best regards,

Maybe, but that would be for 9 machines unless I could keep track of the differences. There will be, by the first of the year, 4 amd64's and 5 arm64's here. The 4 new arm64's will probably be using armbian, 3 to run high speed 3d printers and one to play with. Maybe run debian on those too, the latest full DL for arm64 looks like it might work too.

If I keep making morning roll call.

Take care & stay well, Fred.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
