      Upgraded my own SG1100 yesterday without issues.

      Small PHP-related crash log at first login, but everthing works so far. Visible change: less RAM usage! From ~75% to 50%, nice.

        pfSense 23.05 on a 4100 : it was a click, a coffee, and done.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Updated my 4100 wit activated RAM disk.
          made a second reboot after the update and everything works smooth.
          Had to apply a small config change for my apc ups, which was not recognized.

            @chudak Same cert failure as @keyser on my XG-7100, same method to resolve.

              Non-Netgate hardware updated first from 23.01 to 23.05 RCs up to 23.05.r.20230519.0600.
              After seeing some problems with r.20230522.1252 changed branch back to "Current Stable 23.01" and waited for "Current Stable 23.05" to become available.
              No problems updating to 23.05 Release, though I'm not running any special packages.

                @mvikman create a backup and download a local copy in case you have to do a full reinstall.

                when you kick off, go have coffee. the rebooting in 10s is way understated in my experience. needed 2-3min before the reboot, and then you still have a minute or so for the update to run

                  @gwaitsi I save the config file to my pc everytime I make changes.
                  I always do a reboot before upgrade and I follow reboots/upgrades from console(display).
                  I also have a backup pfsense box that I can swap in to use if the main one dies.

                    Updated my 6100 Max:

                    • Backed-up config
                    • Set a ZFS Boot Environment snapshot
                    • Pre-booted
                    • Clicked on the update icon
                    • Auto rebooted with zero issues

                    So yes, I left all packages in place and other than setting backups (thankfully not needed) and the pre-booting I did nothing more than allow pfSense to sort it all out. Which it did.

                    ☕️

                      Upgraded successfully here, XG-1537 in HA. First the backup unit, then the master.
                      Using pfBlockerNG and zabbix-agent6.

                        @chudak One patch so far, for the bleeding-edgers :)

                        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                          Successfully upgraded two systems (one Xeon D based Supermicro unit and one Intel i3 custom build) from 23.01 to 23.05. Overall, the upgrade went smooth and was fairly quick on both systems.

                          A minor issue was that both systems ran into the certificate error the first time when trying to upgrade (as has been documented in other threads already), but flipping the Branch back to 23.01 and then forward to 23.05 again under System -> Update allowed the upgrade to proceed the second time.

                          Very excited to see IPsec Multi-Buffer (IPsec-MB) Cryptographic Acceleration being added in this release as well as a formal pfSense package for udpbroadcastrelay.

                          A big Thank You to everyone who contributed to this release for all hard work and effort.

                              We did about a dozen boxes. Went great. No issues at all. Hoping the syslog-ng issue gets sorted out soon so we can do a bunch more.

                                @Cylosoft I updated my little SG-2100MAX I got to learn with in school with and it was like a hot knife in butter in a butter bell. Just smooth. I was impressed versus the 21.01 update that one well it had some problems.

                                      Updated from 23.01 to 23.05 on two model 2100 units. One went smooth and the other I got the certificate failure, so I followed @keyser post and successfully upgraded the other. It may be premature as the upgrade happened only 6 hours ago, but it looks like the memory leak issue has been resolved.

                                        @Gertjan said in To 23.05 or not ? that is the question :):

                                        pfSense 23.05 on a 4100 : it was a click, a coffee, and done.

                                        This made me laugh and think "The way all upgrades should be. No issues but long enough to have a coffee"

                                          I had gotten hit with the cert issues on my SG3100 running 23.01 when I first tried. So I found a quick ssh fix on here and I upgraded just fine. No issues so far. I have a fairly complex config.

                                          That was my home firewall.

                                          The other triple digit worth of work firewalls, I'm going to wait a little bit. we'll see if there is a 23.05.1 or something.

                                            On my home 2100 I saved a config locally, pre-booted, then via the console attempted to update but was stopped by the certificate error. Searching in the Upgrades forum here I followed the advice to swap the update branch back and forth. Did another pre-boot, then updated via console went fine. Less than 10 minutes on the 2100. Did a post-install reboot for good measure. I did not uninstall pfBlockerNG or Avahi first. So far so good.
