Greetings! freebsd-update is an amazing tool to upgrade the system without compiling from sources and upgrading jails can be as easy as freebsd- update -b /path/to/jail upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE, however I have noticed that when using the utility multiple times, it still fetches the files multiple times. My question is: Is there a way to use FreeBSD-update in a way, that allows the user to download once and upgrade multiple Jails. I run dozens of jails on multiple hosts and it's very frustrating to download the same content. I think it's okay for the patch files to be downloaded every time (freebsd-update fetch install), since they are small and don't require a lot of time, but the upgrade process is somehow a pain. Some things I know I don't want: 1) Thin Jails (I like using zfs clone on ZFS systems and tar xf base.txz -C jail0/ on UFS) as a solution, since I change the base a lot. 2) Using network caching (say, via Varnish), it seems like more overhead, although any new suggestions would be nice 3) compiling the sources at all (but I'm rethinking this lately, however my CPU is not that fast). Any tips and suggestions would be nice! P.S. In an ideal solution, it would be nice to just download the ISO or tarballs from the mirrors and pass that to freebsd-update, but looks like that required a lot of work. -- antranigv https://antranigv.am/
