What's the status on being able to upgrade a server via SSH?
I've upgraded
a couple of Ubuntu servers that way, but how about Fedora? This is a pretty
plain server, just used for storing data. No third party repos, etc.
Is it considered moderately safe? Or should I avoid like the plague?
I just did it (using `dnf system-upgrade`) and it worked fine. There's
less to go wrong with that approach vs. doing a "live" dnf update — but
on the other hand, it feels a little bit scarier if you don't have
console access. (Which, thankfully, is increasingly common for remote
servers these days.)
