Not long ago, I ran pkgbasify on a FreeBSD 15.0 jail – this time I’m going to do it slightly differently. I’m going to run the script on the host.
In this post:
- FreeBSD 15.0
- the jail is named dns1
- I’ll use the variable MYJAIL to make your copy/paste easier and my future runs easier
Following the instructions at https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify I did the following.
Download
[23:03 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % fetch https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify/raw/refs/heads/main/pkgbasify.lua pkgbasify.lua 21 kB 5699 kBps 00s [23:03 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % chmod +x ./pkgbasify.lua
Prepare the jail
Based on previous runs, I added the following to my jail configuration and restarted the jail:
# added for pkgbasify allow.chflags; securelevel = -1;
Snapshot the jail
[23:12 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % sudo zfs snapshot data02/jails/dns1@before.pkgbasify [23:12 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] %
Run the script
[23:13 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % export MYJAIL=dns1
[23:13 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % sudo ./pkgbasify.lua --jail $MYJAIL
Running this tool will irreversibly modify your system to use pkgbase.
This tool and pkgbase are experimental and may result in a broken system.
It is highly recommended to backup your system before proceeding.

Message from FreeBSD-local-unbound-15.0p10:
--
After upgrading local-unbound, the configuration file should be regenerated
by running "service local_unbound setup" before restarting the service.
Conversion finished.
Please verify that the contents of the following critical files are as expected:
/jails/dns1/etc/master.passwd
/jails/dns1/etc/group
/jails/dns1/etc/ssh/sshd_config
After verifying those files, restart the system.
I looked at those first three files. Seemed OK.
Then I restarted sshd in that jail, just to be sure.
[23:20 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % sudo jexec $MYJAIL service sshd restart Performing sanity check on sshd configuration. Stopping sshd. Waiting for PIDS: 98398. Performing sanity check on sshd configuration. Starting sshd.
After restarting that jail, I confirmed it was done:
[23:21 r730-01 dvl ~/bin] % sudo pkg -j $MYJAIL which /usr/bin/uname /usr/bin/uname was installed by package FreeBSD-runtime-15.0p11
Now I can update that jail to FreeBSD 15.1 via pkgbase.
