I was wondering the same thing. I haven’t yet installed uCore though. > Or better yet, could we contribute that to uCore itself? Perhaps disabled by default but easy to enable for folks who want it? The [project’s lead is thinking about retiring uCore](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/ucore-retirement/8975/4), so I’m not sure it would be worth it. And the README on the Github repo does say that there are upstream efforts to develop an alternative. However, as I wrote in the other thread, I think @bsherman’s suggestion to use CentOS bootc image as base is the right idea. I find the whole butane/ignition thing to be a bit too outside the usual container practices. I think I’m going to base by home server on CentOS bootc instead. And yes, I’d consider a systemd unit. I’ve been running wild with systemd user units since @CerealParadox [shared his config snippet for his starship prompt](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/updates-thread/8833/13). 😁 (I made one for brew updates and one for dnf updates for my Fedora WSL at work.) Tip: there’s a VS Code extension for Systemd unit files: > **[Systemd Helper - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hangxingliu.vscode-systemd-support)** > > Extension for Visual Studio Code - A Visual Studio Code extension that helps you read and write Systemd unit/mkosi config/Podman Quadlet files --- _[View the full topic](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/how-to-enable-automatic-reboot-on-ucore-when-updates-are-staged/8948)._
