@bradsm87 Interesting. I went from 2.7 to plus, now I'm wondering how I did it??

Jarhead

@jarhead Maybe it was 2.6 to plus? Either way, I was able to upgrade to 23.1 today on that machine.
Not really sure how I got there now.

Performed an in-place upgrade from 22.05 to 23.01 on my 6100 MAX successfully. All packages were uninstalled and reinstalled automatically. Super easy!

I saw the notification earlier today about 23.01 being available. When I tried to upgrade this evening, something changed. Now, I am on the "latest version", but still running 23.01.r.20230208.1414.

This message appears under System Update:

We could not connect to Netgate servers. Please try again later.

#metoo - Starting to think the repo servers died and my upgrade issues on various devices are related to that. I did 2 devices in the afternoon of 15 Feb (Central TZ) then I got side-tracked. A few hours later I tried to upgrade some instances in Asia remotely and 3/3 fail with repo issues.

@mwatch EC2 instance upgraded from 22.05 to 23.01, after upgrade reboot I get this notice:

PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/sbin/ec2_setup.php, Line: 299, Message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /usr/local/sbin/ec2_setup.php:299
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/local/sbin/ec2_setup.php(478): writeOpenVPNConfig('<REDACTED_PUBLIC_IP_OF_FIREWALL>')
#1 {main}
thrown @ 2023-02-16 08:25:49

Strange thing is: I don't have any config related to OpenVPN (client or server).

What to do now?

I am getting that this morning on all my pfsense systems, I should have updated last night before the systems got overwhelmed.

Hello,

I'm having issues trying to update to v23.01 on my SG-1100 appliance. It gets stuck when fetching the new kernel image, then the device restarts itself. Haven't done any further troubleshooting just yet, but wondering what logs I should look into?

Thanks!

Mine all started working now. 2/2 done lunch time Central. Then nothing worked now 6/6 that failed most of the day are all working now. Must have been a repo meltdown of sorts.

Package manager shows no packages, anyone else having this issue?

swampkracker

Must have been overloaded servers. Updated to 23.01 this morning and all is well.

@mtrimarchi I got same fatal error but instead file was pointing to avahi.inc. I had to restore 22.05 using backup boot environment.

I may try updating again after removing Avahi package.

Upgraded and machine will not boot. Network is hosed. How do I get back to 22.05?

ZFS Boot Environments got your back on this assuming you are using ZFS, not UFS. The upgrade would have created a snapshot for you automatically.

@mwatch After updating my 2100 from 22.5? To 23.01, the green circle has a fast flashing blue light.

Kudos on an overall "smooth like butter" experience during the upgrade, guys and gals. Appreciate the work you put in on this fine product...

@rwurwin can you look at the upgrade log? And/or what does the console show?
