For Debian-based systems, on the top of "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" my file looks like this:

Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
    "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
    "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
//    "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
    "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
    "TorProject:trusty";
};

The first 4 allowed origins are for official Ubuntu software for the version I'm running, and the last entry says to use the 'trusty' dist from the TorProject source.

Here's the original thread where I learned the trick: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1401845&p=10070689#post10070689

Hi,

I'm very interested in setting up unattended upgrades for tor. I tried searching for instructions on how to do it. But the only instructions I could really find didn't work (on the Library Freedom git project).

How do I write the config so that the tor repo (or whatever it's called) is updated by unattended upgrades?

Thanks.

not all relays with your contactinfo seem to be updated properly
doing it manually is slow and error prone.
Maybe consider using the 'unattended-upgrades' package?

(only found 28 relays)
