*dnf-automatic* is an add-on for `dnf` that performs scheduled, automatic updates. It works pretty much how I would want it to: triggered by a systemd timer, sends email reports upon completion, and only reboots for kernel et al. updates. In its default configuration, `dnf-automatic.timer` fires every day. I want machines to update weekly, but I want them to update on different days (so as to avoid issues if all the machines reboot at once). Thus, the _dnf-automatic_ role uses a systemd unit extension to change the schedule. The day-of-the-week is chosen pseudo-randomly based on the host name of the managed system.
