I may give you a script how to update ports in the jails. You just need to have the same ports installed on your base system and build them with making a package ready for instalation. Personally I use: PACKAGES=/usr/ports/packages /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -v -i -a -y -p
Then if you have made jails in /usr/local/jails use the following script: #!/bin/sh echo "***********************************" echo "* *" echo "* Preparing mount points *" echo "* *" echo "***********************************" /sbin/mount_nullfs /usr/ports/ /usr/local/jails/<jail1>/usr/ports /sbin/mount_nullfs /usr/ports/ /usr/local/jails/<jail2>/usr/ports ... /sbin/mount_nullfs /usr/ports/ /usr/local/jails/<jailn>/usr/ports echo "" echo "" echo "***********************************" echo "* *" echo "* Executing update script *" echo "* *" echo "***********************************" echo "" echo "" for jid in `/usr/sbin/jls | /usr/bin/cut -c 1-6`; do if [ $jid != "JID" ]; then echo "Updating:" echo `/usr/sbin/jls | /usr/bin/grep JID` echo `/usr/sbin/jls | /usr/bin/grep " $jid "` echo -n "Continue with upgrade [y/n]: " read oks if [ "x$oks" = "xn" -o "x$oks" = "xN" ]; then echo "Skipping JID=$jid" echo "" echo "" else /usr/sbin/jexec $jid /usr/local/bin/updateports.sh fi fi done echo "" echo "" echo "***********************************" echo "* *" echo "* Removing mount points *" echo "* *" echo "***********************************" echo "" echo "" /sbin/umount /usr/local/jails/<jail1>/usr/ports /sbin/umount /usr/local/jails/<jail2>/usr/ports .... /sbin/umount /usr/local/jails/<jailn>/usr/ports This asks you for updating particular jail and executes /usr/local/bin/updateports.sh in each jail (you should copy it in every jail). You can use this: #!/usr/local/bin/bash echo "************************************************" echo "* *" echo "* Updating indexes *" echo "* *" echo "************************************************" /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u echo "************************************************" echo "* *" echo "* Fixing database *" echo "* *" echo "************************************************" /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -Fv echo "************************************************" echo "* *" echo "* Updating ports *" echo "* *" echo "************************************************" /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -v -i -a -y -f -PP That is what I use in my jails. Hope this will help you :) Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff Deputy Head of IT Department ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) AD futhwo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04.10.2006 16:24 To FreeBSD Questions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc Subject Updating jails Hi We have an infrastructure composed by a few physical servers that contains some full jails (up to 10 jails per server). I am wondering what's the better and fastest way to bring the jails up-to-date when a new patchlevel or minor version is released and installed on the host system. This method would better be unattended, but it's not a requirement.
