NodePanel installs operating system security updates on each server it manages. Twice a day it also upgrades the web stack and patches vulnerable dependencies in your Git-deployed sites. Every run is reported in the panel.

A failed run is marked for manual review.
What gets updated
Each list describes what an automatic run does on a server that has the NodePanel agent.
Security patches for the server’s operating system, applied about once a day.
Newer packages for the software that serves your sites, installed twice a day.
Known vulnerabilities in a site’s Composer and npm packages, checked twice a day.
In practice
The updates run without you. The panel records each run, so you can check the result and deal with a run that failed.
Open the server’s overview and read the Security & Updates panel. It shows whether automatic updates are enabled, when the last security run finished, whether a reboot is pending and the last update error.
Each run adds a notice to the bell in the panel and an entry in the activity log. The notice says what was applied, such as the number of vulnerable packages patched on a site. A failed run is marked for manual review.
WordPress sites update through WordPress. On a site’s WordPress page, switch automatic core updates on or off, and update core, plugins or themes when you choose. You can also check the core files against the WordPress.org checksums.
