Tired of running flatpak update by hand? In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a systemd service and timer that keeps your Flatpak apps updated automatically in the background. We’ll write the unit files, enable the timer, check that it’s working, and look at the logs. This works on any distro that uses systemd. It’s also a practical introduction to systemd timers, which you can use to schedule just about any task on Linux.
