Automatic updates with dnf-automatic

I have installed the package dnf-automatic, to allow for automatic updates to be installed.

dnf -y install dnf-automatic

There's only one configuration file available in /etc/dnf/automatic.conf.

I have set it to:

apply_updates = yes
download_updates = yes
upgrade_type = security

It shows that the timer is active:

[root@ ~]#systemctl status dnf-automatic.timer
● dnf-automatic.timer - dnf-automatic timer
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf-automatic.timer; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
