Number of updates available

[pucelev]

Is there a possibility of adding the number of package updates available in eSM'Web?
These updates are the ones you see when you do an "apt-get update".

You'd need to grant sudo permissions to the PHP interpreter or apt will complain...

Unless there's another way to check available updates without root?

On Ubuntu 16.04 and newer it seems that you can use apt list --upgradeable without root access so that might be a starting point.
