I am using ubuntu 16.04 on google cloud and sometime there is a kernel is updated that happen automatically .

I use this server for docker and when the kernel is updated then the docker service stops because of that .

Is there a way to cause the extra to be installed automatically each time the kernel is updated ? and not run the command :

sudo apt-get -y install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)

Best regards.

  • Not sure but I have use the " # Install the recommended package. sudo apt-get -y install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual " and reboot the server and that help . – Rotem Emergi Jan 23 '17 at 12:51

I think that if you install linux-generic instead, you'll end up with linux-image-extra for your kernel version (it's a dependency), and it will automatically get updated with future kernel updates.

sudo apt-get install -y linux-generic
