      @bdream if the module update adds a feature,

      you don’t care, as u are not using it now

      if the module update fixes a bug

      you don’t care as u probably haven’t seen it

      (else u wouldn’t have deployed the module in such a sensitive environment…)

      I STRONGLY recommend,

      If it’s working, don’t touch it.

        @bdream said in automatic update module by notification:

        I would prefer having an automatic to update in case it’s notified.

        option1: Adding a new paramter “forceUpdate” to the notification module so that it does the update instead of the notification (someone has to code this)

        option2: Write a bash script which iterates over the module folders doing something like this (in every module folder)

        git reset --hard
        git pull
        [ -f "package.json" ] && npm install
        

        This script should be executed e.g. daily by e.g. a cronjob.

        As Sam already mentioned this would be the hard way, may its better not to change a running system and ignore the notification, your decision.

          I recommend not updating MM or modules unless they work. Just leave them. Update them only when you find some issue or need a new feature.

            many thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it!

            At first I will disable notification at my mothers MM. Hope there will not be a secure issue I oversee than. But it will anyway be an small one in my mothers environment.

            For me I will play with “play” with the other options you mentioned and will see if this works for a longer time in a good way ;)
