On Friday, I finished upgrading all my FreeBSD hosts from FreeBSD 15 to FreeBSD 15.1 (the first host I did is in this blog post ).
Before that, I had run pkgbasify on each of those hosts.
I also ran pkgbasify in a jail, but I learned that I can run it from the host, using the -j parameter.
Today, I’m going to update that jail using pkgbase, from outside the jail.
In this post:
- FreeBSD 15.0 (before)
- FreeBSD 15.1 (after; hopefully)
- The host is a Microsoft Azure instance
- FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE Upgrading Instructions
I am going to follow the above instructions, duplicating their section names here, for easier cross reference.
I will be running the commands on the host and using the -j parameter.
My commands will use the MYJAIL variable to make your copy/paste easier. Just adjust the export statement to reference your jail.
Introduction
[22:31 r730-03 dvl ~] % export MYJAIL=empty [22:32 r730-03 dvl ~] % sudo pkg -j $MYJAIL which /usr/bin/uname /usr/bin/uname was installed by package FreeBSD-runtime-15.0p11
Great. The jail has been pkgbasified. :)
Upgrading with Base System Packages
Snapshot the Current Installation
Well, since it’s a jail:
[22:35 r730-03 dvl ~] % zfs list | grep empty data01/jails/empty 41.4G 7.49T 37.2G /jails/empty [22:36 r730-03 dvl ~] % sudo zfs snapshot data01/jails/empty@pre-15.1 [22:36 r730-03 dvl ~] %
Sorry, no variable used there.

pkg: Package FreeBSD-cron has files with flags that cannot be managed in this jail. Set allow.chflags in the jail configuration.
AHH, I have to changeallow.chflags. If you review Running pkgbasify on a FreeBSD 15.0 jail, you’ll see I had to add this to the jail config:
# added for pkgbasify
allow.chflags;
securelevel = -1;
I’ll do that, restart the jail, and try the same command again.

After upgrading local-unbound, the configuration file should be regenerated
by running "service local_unbound setup" before restarting the service.
Upgrade Third-party Kernel Modules
This is a jail, no need to do this, but it does run.

[22:48 r730-03 dvl ~] % sudo jexec $MYJAIL find /etc /usr/local/etc -name '*.pkgnew' -ls
Then, I didn’t trust that it did it right, so I did it again.
[22:49 r730-03 dvl ~] % sudo jexec $MYJAIL [22:50 empty root ~] # find /etc /usr/local/etc -name '*.pkgnew' -ls [22:50 empty root ~] #
Upgrade the Boot Loader
This is a jail, nothing to do here.
Finish
I reversed the jail configuration changes I made above, and then did:
[22:51 r730-03 dvl ~] % sudo service jail restart $MYJAIL Stopping jails: empty. Starting jails: empty.
Done
This seems right:
[22:52 empty dvl ~] % freebsd-version -ur 15.1-RELEASE-p1 15.1-RELEASE-p1
