My Grok @bot is admin for my Hostinger Linux VM.

Let the bot admin your Linux VM: after a CVE email, it opened a firewall rule for itself, ran the update and upgrade, rebooted and closed the rule again.

For

You run a VPS and security patch emails pile up.

When you're done

A patched, rebooted VM with the temporary firewall rule removed.

How

  1. 01

    Make the bot the admin for your VM.

  2. 02

    When a patch email arrives (here for CVE-2026-98432), ask the bot to update, upgrade and reboot.

  3. 03

    It adds a firewall rule to whitelist its own IP.

  4. 04

    It runs the update and upgrade, then reboots the VM.

  5. 05

    It removes the firewall rule.

Notes

What's good: the bot cleaned up after itself, removing the firewall rule it added for its own access once the job was done.
