Recently Ubuntu moved LXC into snaps which raises a concern with snapd updates. Those updates can not be configured to be manual, they run on schedule and can't be turned off. As I am thinking to have a NAS and a VPN servers running in LXC containers but I am concerned whether snapd updates will be shutting down or restarting those containers and therefore causing potential data loss with NAS or security issues with VPN.
Currently, you can defer any package updates up to sixty days. By doing so, you have a window of two months to select when you can perform the update.
Not updating a package is a security issue by itself.
