How to run upgrade faster ?
-
Hello,
Is there a way to anticipate upgrade so as to pre-download all needed package before upgrade ?
On the customer, we have a very slow internet connection and upgrade is taking forever.
pkg fetch -d -y ?

pkg fetch -u -d -yseem to do what I want :)

If you run ZFS in Plus it upgrades the new boot environment before rebooting so reduces downtime significantly.

what i would do is remote into a mahchine behind the irewlal and go download the update package...then once you are ready yoou could use the web gui to upload the update when youa re ready to upgraede.,,iirc...

Our solution at this point :
Automatically :
- Remove unwanted boot environnements
- Update the train to the stable version
- Check upgrade availability (pfSense-upgrade -d -c)
- Prefetch all packages (pkg fetch -u -d -y)
So we want finally launch the upgrade (pfSense-upgrade -4 -d -y) it's faster !
