Upgrading a chroot

S

sprock

Hello,

I have a chroot running 12.4-RELEASE that I use to PXE boot some nodes of a tiny cluster. I want to upgrade it to run 13.2-RELEASE, same as the host machine. I thought I could chroot and do:
Code: 
freebsd-update -r 13.2-RELEASE upgrade
, but the response is:
Code: 
freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 13.2-RELEASE to itself
. I know the chroot runs 12.4-RELEASE.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thanks for any help.

13.2-RELEASE will be end-of-life in a few months (around June 5 2024) , better upgrade to 13.3 or 14.0 (host machine must run in this case same or bigger version).

Try freebsd-update --currently-running:

freebsd-update(8)
Code: 
     --currently-running release
                    Do not detect the currently-running release; instead,
                    assume that the system is running the specified release.
                    This is most likely to be useful when upgrading jails.

Or
Code: 
     -j jail        Operate on the given jail specified by jid or name.  (The
                    version of the installed userland is detected and the
                    --currently-running option is no more required.)
 
Have you tried from the host system with -b instead?
Code: 
# freebsd-update -b <chroot-dir> fetch install

EDIT> ... aaand I didn't read this right. You want to upgrade. Well, you could still try -b but you need your -r ... upgrade too...
 
I tried --currently-running (it is a chroot, not a jail):

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y
