Ability to disable automatic major updates

[monarobase]

In the upate preferences in WHM for 11.32 we have the following options :

1) LTS : 11.30
2) Automatic updates on the different branches

However I would like to be able to do all automatic updates in release branch 11.32 but to do the future update to 11.34 manually.

You give me the option of either going back to 11.30 or automaticaly upgrading from 11.32 to 11.34

I guess I could set my server to follow the Stable branch and then update to Release again when 11.34 comes out but thiswould mean more delay for the minor bug fixes and improvements.

I would like to be able to watch the update process for major updates but allow automatic updates for minor versions.

Could you please give us an option to disable major versions automatic updates.

This would mean that when a major version comes out and the previous version becomes LTS, the server would automaticaly switch from Release branch to LTS and we could then manually put it back to release branch and run the update manually.

This is already possible, but it appears the UI is not exposing the capability.

Once we publish a production build of a major version, the LTS "tier" of that version becomes available. While a given major version is the production version (e.g. 11.32 is the production version right now), the LTS tier uses the same build that STABLE refers to. The LTS tiers table at Downloads - cPanel Inc. shows which build the 11.32 LTS tier currently points to.

By tracking the LTS tier the server would receive the various updates to that version, but would not upgrade to the next major version. You would need to change the update configuration to accomplish that.

There are a few vagaries to the system. One should only track the LTS tier once a major version has been promoted through all the named tiers (e.g. gone all the way from EDGE to STABLE). When the named tiers are a mixture of major versions the LTS tier may point to older builds of the new production version.

To have your server track the LTS tier for 11.32 (the current production version), you'll need to manually edit /etc/cpupdate.conf. Change the CPANEL entry to 11.32:

CPANEL=11.32

Save your changes. Now your server is tracking the LTS builds of 11.32 and will not automatically update to 11.34 (when 11.34 becomes available).

Thanks,

I still maintain to have this feature directly implemented to the UI
