Upgrading
=========
This document outlines updating and upgrading jails hosted by Bastille.
Bastille can "bootstrap" multiple versions of FreeBSD to be used by jails. All
jails do not NEED to be the same version (even if they often are), the only
requirement here is that the "bootstrapped" versions are less than or equal to
the host version of FreeBSD.
To keep releases updated, use ``bastille update RELEASE``
To keep thick jails updated, use ``bastille update TARGET``
----------------------
Minor Release Upgrades
----------------------
To upgrade Bastille jails for a minor release (ie; 13.1→13.2) you can do the
following:
Thick Jails
-----------
1. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE`` to upgrade the jail to
13.2-RELEASE
2. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE update`` to apply the updates
3. Reboot the jail ``bastille restart TARGET``
4. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE update`` to finish applying the
upgrade
5. Upgrade complete!
Thin Jails
----------
1. Ensure the new release version is bootstrapped: ``bastille bootstrap 13.2-RELEASE``
2. Update the release (optional): ``bastille update 13.2-RELEASE``
3. Stop the jail(s) that need to be updated.
4. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE`` to automatically change the mount points to 13.2-RELEASE
5. Start the jail(s)
6. Upgrade complete!
----------------------
Major Release Upgrades
----------------------
To upgrade Bastille jails for a major release (ie; 12.4→13.2) you can do the
following:
Thick Jails
-----------
1. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE`` to upgrade the jail to
13.2-RELEASE
2. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE update`` to apply the updates
3. Reboot the jail ``bastille restart TARGET``
4. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE update`` to finish applying the
upgrade
5. Force the reinstallation or upgrade of all installed packages (ABI change):
``pkg upgrade -f`` within each jail (or ``bastille pkg ALL upgrade -f``)
6. Upgrade complete!
Thin Jails
----------
1. Ensure the new release version is bootstrapped and updated to the latest
patch release: ``bastille bootstrap 13.2-RELEASE``
2. Update the release: ``bastille update 13.2-RELEASE``
3. Stop the jail(s) that need to be updated.
4. Use ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.2-RELEASE`` to automatically change the
mount points to 13.2-RELEASE
5. Use ``bastille etcupdate bootstrap 13.2-RELEASE`` to bootstrap src for
13.2-RELEASE
6. Use ``bastille etcupdate TARGET update 13.2-RELEASE`` to update the contents
of /etc for 13.2-RELEASE
7. Use ``bastille etcupdate TARGET resolve`` to resolve any conflicts
8. Start the jail(s)
9. Force the reinstallation or upgrade of all installed packages (ABI change):
``pkg upgrade -f`` within each jail (or ``bastille pkg ALL upgrade -f``)
10. Upgrade complete!
----------------------------------
Revert Upgrade / Downgrade Process
----------------------------------
The downgrade process (not usually needed) is similar to the upgrade process
only in reverse.
Thick Jails
-----------
Thick jails should not be downgraded and is not supported in general on FreeBSD.
Thin Jails
----------
Not recommended, but you can run ``bastille upgrade TARGET 13.1-RELEASE`` to
downgrade a thin jail. Make sure to run ``bastille etcupdate TARGET update
13.1-RELEASE`` to keep the contents of /etc updated with each release.
The pkg reinstallation will also need to be repeated after the jail restarts on
the previous release.
------------
Old Releases
------------
After upgrading all jails from one release to the next you may find that you now
have bootstrapped a release that is no longer used. Once you've decided that you
no longer need the option to revert the change you can destroy the old release.
``bastille list releases`` to list all bootstrapped releases.
``bastille destroy X.Y-RELEASE`` to fully delete the release, including the
cache.
``bastille destroy [-c|--no-cache] X.Y-RELEASE`` to retain the cache directory.
