    >What would you say it is the best way yo keep a Raspberry system "auto-updated"?

    I think Debian packages are better than what I was doing, but if I were starting from scratch, I'd try to use Yocto[0] or NixOS[1].

    Take this with a grain of salt, because this is secondhand from another founder who had good experience with Yocto, but from what she told me it's optimized for the case of pushing out updates to embedded devices. One of the pitfalls of Raspberry Pis is that the microSDs are vulnerable to filesystem corruption, which can leave the device unbootable. I believe Yocto protects against that where there are always two bootable partitions, so you failover to the other partition and can recover.
