How to disable dietpi-update 2 check process on startup?

RobLeighton67 · October 6, 2023, 10:34am

Using: 8.22 Bookworm
Target: Pi Zero WH
I notice CPU is heavily loaded on startup doing update available checks && apt interaction - seemingly to provide update notices for dietpi-banner.
This sometimes causes issues with my applications that run from startup as services.
I don’t need to have these update checks performed automatically - how can I disable this automatic behaviour ?

did you checked following option?

github.com

MichaIng/DietPi/blob/fb0db339f63275d8924b80db7bca2d8d0410e6a0/dietpi.txt#L200-L202


      
          # Daily check for APT package updates: 0=disable | 1=check only | 2=check and upgrade automatically
          # - Upgrade logs can be found at: /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-update_apt.log
          CONFIG_CHECK_APT_UPDATES=1

Thanks for that - yes, I also found a more generic updates option in dietpi.txt - CONFIG_CHECK_DIETPI_UPDATES that , when set to 0 seems to solve my issue.
CPU usage on startup settles quickly to almost nothing now.
I think that other setting controls APT update checks from within Dietpi-Update.

Keep in mind, you will not receive further information on available DietPi updates now and would need to check manually. But this should be fine. Our release schedule is a fixed one
