### Setup Auto Updates
**Stable Releases**
We set the bootstrap nodes to check for updates every hour by using crontab
On a Debian based machine:
```shell
sudo crontab -e
```
In the editor that opens append:
```shell
0 * * * * apt -y update && apt -y upgrade veilid-cli veilid-server > ~/auto_updates.log 2>&1
```
**Nightly Releases**
The nightly auto release triggers at 11PM US Central Time. The following crontab exmaple will
trigger at 6AM for your machine's local time which should give plenty of time for the auto release
to complete no matter where you are in the world.
```shell
sudo crontab -e
```
In the editor that opens append:
```shell
* 6 * * * apt -y update && apt -y upgrade veilid-cli veilid-server > ~/auto_updates.log 2>&1
```
**Fedora Based Machines**
The above steps should work, replace the apt commands with appropriate dnf commands.
