+This is a temporary workaround to disable auto updates. As we move out of the alpha there will be a nicer method.
+
+## Add a unit file to stop update-engine-reboot-manager
+
+There is a single simple script called "update-engine-reboot-manager" that does an automatic reboot after update-engine applies an update to your CoreOS machine. To stop automatic reboots after an update has been applied you need to stop this daemon. You can do this via a service file that is started at boot.
+
+Create a file called `/media/state/units/stop-reboot-manager.service` that has the following contents:
+
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=stop update-engine-reboot-manager
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl stop update-engine-reboot-manager
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=local.target
+```
+
+## Enable it immediatly
+
+```
+sudo systemctl enable --runtime /media/state/units/stop-reboot-manager.service
+sudo systemctl start stop-reboot-manager.service
+```
+
+Have fun!
