Upgrading made easy!
We have been telling everybody how easy upgrading is in
OPNsense
, with 15.7 the "Brave Badger" it is time to show you how an upgrade from 15.1.12 to 15.7 is done in
under 10 minutes
I upgraded our production system and made some screenshots, the process takes 5 minutes with ~2 minutes of total downtime due to base system upgrade (kernel & packages).
( 1 )
Check version
We are on 15.1.12-amd64
( 2 )
Go to Firmware page
We have a nice clean firmware upgrade page
( 3 )
Click to check now
Click on the button and watch it fetch the update list
( 4 )
25 updates!
The whole system uses packages! (see package: opnsense 15.7)
( 5 )
If we need a reboot
Since this upgrade requires a reboot for kernel and package upgrades, you will see a warning. In many cases you won't need a reboot.
( 6 )
08:29:27 - Pressed Ok
( 7 )
Upgrade in progress..
You can watch the upgrade in progress and see the system fetching the upgrades one by one and aplying them
( 8 )
Warning you the reboot is taking place..
Usually OPNsense will be booted in 5 minutes... or less
( 9 )
08:50:38 - Done upgrading now rebooting (up until now the system was still available for our users)
... waiting ...
( 10 )
DONE!
We had 2 minutes of total downtime due to the required reboot as you can see.
Everything is up and running.. now isn't this easy?
