Upgrade FreeBSD 12.1 Ke 12.2

Sudah lama blog ini mati suri, mudah-mudahan bisa rutin menulis lagi.

Oke, sekedar pemanasan, saya akan coba menulis langkah-langkah upgrade FreeBSD 12.1 ke 12.2.
Semoga bermanfaat.

Versi FreeBSD di server saya saat ini:

$ freebsd-version
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE 

Berhubung masa aktif FreeBSD 12.1 sudah berakhir (end-of-life) maka server saya tidak akan mendapat update/upgrade semua aplikasi yang telah diinstall didalamnya. Demi keamanan dan kenyamanan saya lakukan upgrade ke FreeBSD 12.2. Walau pun agak tanggung karena Freebsd 13.0 akan segera rilis pada bulan Maret 2021 nanti namun saya tetap lakukan upgrade ke FreeBSD 12.2 dahulu. Sekalian untuk bahan tulisan ini.

Dibawah ini adalah langkah-langkah untuk melakukan upgrade FreeBSD, lakukan sebagai root.

1. Download file-file yang dibutuhkan (patches) untuk upgrade dengan perintah freebsd-update fetch

# freebsd-update fetch

2. Install file-file patches diatas dengan perintah freebsd-update install

# freebsd-update install

3. Langkah berikutnya adalah melakukan upgrade dengan perintah freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE
src component not installed, skipped

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y

Catatan: akan ada beberapa pertanyaan seperti:
Does this look reasonable (y/n)?
Jawab saja dengan y.

4. Setelah langkah diatas sukses, jalankan perintah freebsd-update install untuk menginstall file update yang sudah didownload pada langkah sebelumnya.

# freebsd-update install
src component not installed, skipped
Installing updates...
Kernel updates have been installed.  Please reboot and run
"/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install" again to finish installing updates.

5. Kemudian reboot server dengan perintah:

# shutdown -r now

6. Setelah server berhasil up, login kembali dan jalankan perintah freebsd-update install lagi.

# freebsd-update install
src component not installed, skipped
Installing updates...

Selesai! Coba cek versinya.

# freebsd-version
12.2-RELEASE-p3

Sebaiknya aplikasi-aplikasi yang telah terinstall sebelumnya diupdate juga. Saya biasa melakukan dengan perintah satu baris saja, yaitu:

# portsnap fetch update ; pkg audit -F ; portmaster -ad

Sekian, semoga bermanfaat.
