@kurb42 Check out tools like# bectl (in base) and #beadm (in ports) on FreeBSD. They let you manage your boot environments on #ZFS so if the update process does go to plan then you can always boot into the system version from before the update.

New 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗸𝗴(𝟴) 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 article about FreeBSD pkg(8) package manager.

https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2019/01/17/less-known-pkg8-features/

#freebsd #pkg #beadm #update #upgrade #sqlite

@zac #freebsd-update(8) is the way to go. You may want to read about #beadm (or #bectl) for smoother experience.

On 𝗭𝗙𝗦 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 talk I showed that Ansible has dedicated module for #beadm support.

It seems that #Webmin module called ZFS Manager also supports managing Boot Environments with beadm tool.
