OpenWRT is an VM, Not an LXC. All VMs are updatable Like every OS. (Apt-get update) And dont have an Special Update call

Understood. But on the page for the VMs it says it's updateable ...

Yes. Like apt-get like all other systems

Then technically ALL of the scripts are "updateable" in that sense. But they have some that are "Not Updateable" for example cloudlfared. Based on what you are saying that would be impossible to upgrade but doing a typical apt update / apt upgrade ... it gets updated.

That's true, most of the ones marked as non-updatable are updatable, but no one has time to look at the list closely at the moment. Only a few LXCs are non-updatable (e.g., Frigate).
