With the announcement of 25.10 for Business, does this require a manual button push to get it going, or will we be able to schedule this like minor updates? I saw a note in the 25.4.3 Business that adds the option to move to 25.10 and thought I would ask since I misunderstood the path to the last major update.
With scheduling being what it is, I'm going to target sometime next week to do this upgrade.
For now I suggest installing 25.4.3_4 due to the security impact of the 3 patches.
After that a new check for updates will ask for 25.10 instead which can easily be deferred.
It can be scheduled by cron job, but not by default as major upgrades are sensitive and the cron job only takes stable (minor) updates automatically.
The risky cron job parameter can be found here... maybe ;) https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/eb2800a9bd76060fa17937840e3498c31e4081d2/src/etc/rc.firmware.subr#L34
Note that 25.10 will offer a real "scheduled job" instead of a recurring "cron job" which makes this much easier in the future.
Cheers,
Franco
