I would assume you're not running headless and are using the Apollo via keyboard & Monitor which would indicate you're asking about upgrading the Linux OS on the Apollo. Yes? If so, don't. As I recall, Futurebit advises to NOT update the installed Ubuntu 22.04 OS. Now, if I'm wrong on this or
misunderstood your question I apologize. But I would avoid any Ubuntu upgrades via "sudo" until Futurebit approves it. Just my opinion.
Thank you for your answer.
No, I run the Apollo Server as a pure network server (without keyboard, mouse and monitor).
Regarding “sudo apt update” and “sudo apt upgrade” I don't share your concerns.
As far as I have understood the support, you just should not do a distribution update, but these updates are ok (as they also contain security fixes) and can be done in addition to the Web-IF updates from Appollo.
My Apollo 2.0.5 system runs very stable even after having installed the latest Ubuntu OS updates with above commands using SSH.
