Fedora includes a tool, dnf-automatic, which supports several modes of update automation: do not apply, notify admin, apply and notify admin, apply without notification. In particular, alternatives 2 and 3 are definitely worth considering. A general principle might be: Alternative 2 is the minimum choice for almost any system, alternative 3 is not at all suitable for critical systems that must not fail under any circumstances.
We recommend installing at least alternative 2:
[…]# dnf install dnf-automatic
[…]# vi /etc/dnf/automatic.conf
##emit_via = stdio
emit_via = email
##email_from = root@example.com
email_from = root@host.example.com
##
[…]# vi /etc/aliases
...
# Person who should get root's mail
#root: marc
root: real@address.for.root
[…]# newaliases
[…]# systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic-notifyonly.timerIf you want to automatically install, activate the corresponding timer instead.
[…]# systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic-install.timer
