I have an airgapped Ubuntu server that I need to get patches/updates/upgrades for, any ideas how to do that when you can't remove it to bring it to an Internet connection for updates. Cloning it, then installing the clone image to a similar box, updating the clone, and restoring that patched image back isn't an option either. Thanks, John

use 

apt-zip - Use apt with removable media

or

apt-offline - Offline APT Package manager

here are a couple of usage guides for apt-offline:
