sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

[RobLatour]

If the only thing that is running on my opnsense box is opnsense (and related plugins), is it advisable to periodically run sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade if I am already periodically checking for updates from the dashboard/lobby and applying them?

No, because those commands are for Debian-based Linux systems, not FreeBSD/OPNsense systems. Just use the GUI

[RobLatour]

thank you

GUI and console menu tasks indeed take care of proper updates and sequencing of internal "pkg" commands (the "apt" of FreeBSD so to speak).


Cheers,
