Upgrade full install from console?

Post by piwwo »

Hello

Is there or is there planned to have a way to upgrade NAS4Free full install from the console? Something like you upgrade a Debian Linux-Server using apt-get or Arch Linux using pacman? FreeBSD has freebsd-upgrade utility, can it be available for NAS4free too? https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?que ... &sektion=8

no, but I'm not a developer.

PD: if you want to easy upgrade from N4F webGUI, install embeded that is the recomended way.
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)

It is just that I have a Proliant with 3 HDD and 8GB RAM what's suitable for a full install and a RAID 1 storage.

"Difficult to customize. Changes to the OS (deletions/modifications/plug-ins/additions) are not retained."

That's why I didn't chose Embedded back then, because I customized like own cron scripts, encrypted eMails, dyndns (ok could move this to the firewall but the other reasons remain)..

the latest embedded gives you a data partition on the usb stick.
you can store scripts there now.

dont know what you mean by encrypted mails though.
Nas4Free 11.1.0.4.4517. Supermicro X10SLL-F, 16gb ECC, i3 4130, IBM M1015 with IT firmware. 4x 3tb WD Red, 4x 2TB Samsung F4, both GEOM AES 256 encrypted.

Well I wrote a php script, that sends smime encrypted mails for cronologic log status reporting because the frontend buildin mailer doesn't support encryption. It is stored in the root directory and called by custom cron job.

If I can execute from that data partition, I could store the script there I guess...
