This workflow is ideal for:

• System Administrators: Who need to regularly check for package updates on their servers.
• DevOps Engineers: Looking for automated solutions to streamline server maintenance tasks.
• Small Business Owners: Who manage their own servers and want to ensure software is up-to-date without manual checks.
• IT Support Teams: That require timely notifications about server updates to assist clients effectively.

This workflow addresses the challenge of keeping server packages up-to-date by:

• Automating the Check: Regularly checking for upgradable packages without manual intervention.
• Notifying Users: Sending email notifications when updates are available, ensuring timely action can be taken.
• Reducing Downtime Risks: By keeping software updated, it minimizes vulnerabilities and potential downtime caused by outdated packages.

The workflow consists of the following steps:

1. Schedule Trigger: Runs daily to initiate the workflow automatically.
2. List Upgradable Packages: Executes the command apt list --upgradable via SSH to retrieve a list of packages that can be updated.
3. Format as HTML List: Converts the output into an HTML formatted list for better readability in email notifications.
4. Check for Updates: Evaluates if there are any upgradable packages by checking if the formatted list is not empty.
5. Send Email through SMTP: If updates are found, an email is sent to the specified recipients notifying them of the available updates.
