Assuming you installed caddy via Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian method
https://caddyserver.com/docs/install#debian-ubuntu-raspbian
add "cloudsmith/caddy/stable:any-version";
to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
Example:
// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs
//
// Note that in Ubuntu security updates may pull in new dependencies
// from non-security sources (e.g. chromium). By allowing the release
// pocket these get automatically pulled in.
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}";
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
// Extended Security Maintenance; doesn't necessarily exist for
// every release and this system may not have it installed, but if
// available, the policy for updates is such that unattended-upgrades
// should also install from here by default.
"${distro_id}ESMApps:${distro_codename}-apps-security";
"${distro_id}ESM:${distro_codename}-infra-security";
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
"cloudsmith/caddy/stable:any-version";
};

Origional post:
Hi guys anyone know how to use un attended upgrades with caddy.
I have ubuntu server 22.0.4.
The part that stumps me is caddy uses a external repository cloud Smith making ot difficult to setup.
I installed caddy via Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian
https://caddyserver.com/docs/install#debian-ubuntu-raspbian
The closest example I could find to unattended upgrades with a external repo was this example using docker.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
"Docker:${distro_codename}";

I'm not sure if it's as simple as
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
"Caddy:${distro_codename}";
Edit:
One more question affect would adding
APT::Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist "";
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
have?
Edit2:
I just removed this I only found this from google gemini (which probably isn't the best source of info)
APT::Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist "";
Firstly thank you so much for explaing this for me.
I tried using this as a template for caddy
I assume origin is:
o=cloudsmith/caddy/stable
When adding this rule
"origin=cloudsmith/caddy/stable,codename=${distro_codename}"; //Caddy repository
I get this error
https://pastebin.com/raw/7gtkRw7c
When changing the syntax to:
"cloudsmith/caddy/stable:${distro_codename}"; // Caddy
The error goes away.
Any ideas?
You're right with the origin.
codename
orn
in short form isany-version
.${distro_codename}
won't match that, as it contains the codename for your distro release, likebookworm
for Debian 12.With
any-version
the repo owner's basically saying you can install this regardless of your distro version or they handle it on their end somehow.Try just using the origin instead, like this.
Unable to parse Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins. An error occurred: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)
Huh, I guess Ubuntu patched Unattended Upgrades to change the config format.
Try
"cloudsmith/caddy/stable:any-version";
Again thanks for taking the time to help and explain this to me
Yep this works
