Scheduled Upgrade?
-
Is there a way to schedule an upgrade ?
Just wondering if I can preload the installation files... and then schedule the upgrade?
Thank you,

@dtpantera There is a console command, perhaps you can run it with the cron package?
I'm assuming the goal is to do it at 3am or some down time. I would want to see it, myself...if something did go wrong, it could get fixed then and not wait until 8am.

a cron job (as said before)
a script
use putty to log in console and set up option (13)
fast done and nothing fancy! -
@secopsdirector I wouldn't want that at all, especially if it's a huge update like 22.05->23.01 is. But if you want to run something like that, you can just evoke a
pfSense-upgrade -ycommand via cron at a time to your liking.Personally I'd rather prefer a good monitoring that checks, if there are updates/upgrades available and gets me a dashboard of "ToDo" so we can run the updates in communicated update-windows that are cleared with customers and not at 3am in the morning, failing and leaving a box stranded without internet and having a supporter drive there to revive it. :)
Cheers

Agree...
What I am trying to do is not waste my time waiting for a download over a small bandwidth connection.
I would like to preload / download the upgrade package... which could take some time...
Once downloaded, then I can come back and upgrade...
Similar to TrueNAS in how they allow you to download the upgrade... then later come back at a convenient time to actually do the upgrade...
Can a preload be done ?
Thanks.
