Tl;dr: Automatic updates on my home server caused 8 hours of downtime of all of renn.es' docker services including email and public websites

While we are here: what do you think about unattended updates on Debian and such? (as such being derivatives, including Proxmox VE)

Unattended updates are 10x better because those programs allow you to only do security updates. Plus they are much more stable, and something like this would never happen on a stable distro.
