Hi Franco,

thank you for the quick reply!

I've added a ticket: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/1376

It will likely be the same cron job with the addition of a single parameter such as "PERFORM_RISKY_MAJOR_UPGRADE_IF_AVAILABLE". We should simply make clear this is a dangerous operation.

That is exactly what we are looking for 
And we are totally aware of the risks in performing automatic major upgrades.
So we ensure doing tests, before updates/upgrades will go "productive"!
(e.g. own mirror)
And if you need someone to test it
<- ! 

best regards

General Discussion / [SOLVED] Future automatic major upgrades?

« on: February 05, 2017, 08:35:15 pm »

Hey!

My company is considering moving from pfsense to opnsense and performing major upgrades automatically would make the decision easier. 
The feature of automatic updates was discussed here: Feature: Automatic updates #814
Actually, it does not install major upgrades or pass any parameters to the auto-update function.

This could be realized with e.g.:
- Auto-update parameters (maybe something similar to apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade)
- Major upgrade cron job in the webgui
- Possibility to create custom cron job in the webgui and using opensense-update

I understand why it is not possible by default but in some usecases it would make sense.
So are you guys planning to add something like this in future releases?

regards
Dennis

German - Deutsch / Re: Nano-Images und Update auf OPNsense 17.1. Besser eine Neuinstallation machen?

Moinsen,

würde mich auch interessieren (Update). Hab das ganze zwar auf ner SD Karte aber das sollte ja egal sein.
Ich hatte irgendwo im Forum gelesen das ginge nur per SSH bzw. wenn man direkt mit der 'Box' verbunden ist und nicht per WebGUI.

Wenn ich es noch richtig zusammen bekomme musste man irgendeine Option auswählen auf der Console und dann '17.1' eingeben für den Softwarezweig.

Ist das so korrekt??

gruss,
Astronach

Hi,

soweit liegst du da richtig. Nach dem Login per SSH und Auswahl der Option 12 hast du folgende Möglichkeiten:

Code: [Select]

This will automatically fetch all available updates, apply them,
and reboot if necessary.

A major firmware upgrade is available for this installation: 17.1

Make sure you have read the release notes and migration guide before
attempting this upgrade.  Around 300MB will need to be downloaded and
require 600MB of free space.  Continue with this major upgrade by
typing the major upgrade version number displayed above.

Minor updates may be available, answer 'y' to run them instead.

Proceed with this action? [17.1/y/N]:
Ich habe das Upgrade von 16.7 -> 17.1 auf einem ALIX2D13 Board mit 4GB CF per SSh durchgeführt.
Hat zwar etwas gedauert aber es gab kein Probleme bei mir.
