In Ubuntu 16/18 I would like to set unattended-upgrades to yes non-interactively.

I only know about dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades and it isn't.

Is this possible and how?

Check the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

Look for the following line:

APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

'1' means enabled, '0' means disabled. Edit the config file to the setting you want.

    "' dpkg-reconfigure -f editor unattended-upgrades
