How to Disable Auto Updates in DirectAdmin

Did you know that managing updates in DirectAdmin is key to maintaining control over the server environment?

Disabling auto-updates prevents the system from updating itself without manual intervention. Let’s take a look at how to set this up.

Disable Auto Updates in DirectAdmin

1. First, log in to the DirectAdmin control panel as the admin or a user with administrative privileges.
2. Then, look for an option related to updates. Usually, we can find this under “Admin Settings” or “Admin Tools”. This depends on the DirectAdmin theme and version.
3. Now, in the update settings section, we will see an option to enable or disable automatic updates. DirectAdmin often allows control over which components are automatically updated. So, look for checkboxes or radio buttons that let us disable automatic updates entirely or certain components.
4. After making changes, click the Save button and confirm the changes.

Alternative Approaches

In some accounts, we won’t find a straightforward way to disable auto-updates in DirectAdmin completely. In that case, here are some alternative approaches:

• Update on our Schedule

  While automatic updates may be triggered by default, so, we can still manage the update process manually. DirectAdmin lets us check for available updates and initiate the update process when we choose to do so. This gives us control over the timing of updates.
• Stay Informed

  DirectAdmin usually notifies us about available updates before installing them. This notification lets us review the update details and make a decision about proceeding with the update at that point or at a more suitable time.
• Testing Before Deployment

  If we are concerned that updates may cause issues with our setup, we can consider creating a staging environment. This lets us test updates on a non-production server before deploying them to our live environment.
