⇒ Running pkgbasify on FreeBSD 15.1

> At BSDCan 2026, I attended the pkgbase in Production: A Practical Overview talk. What impressed me was the ease with which one could upgrade from 15.0 to 15.1 etc. Included in the demonstration was pkgbasify (“Automatically convert a FreeBSD system to use pkgbase”).

Running pkgbasify on FreeBSD 15… – Dan Langille's Other Diary : r/freebsd

The blog post concluded:

[18:21 r730-01 dvl ~] % pkg which /bin/sh
/bin/sh was installed by package FreeBSD-runtime-15.0p10
  • the run of pkgbasify was on 15.0, not 15.1.

> Done. This was easy. I suppose I could have done it earlier.

⇒ Did VictoriaLogs miss any logs during the reboot? > Yesterday, I modified r730-01 by Running pkgbasify on FreeBSD 15.0 – as a consequence, my log collecting jail was offline. Did it miss any logs?

⇒ During a power outage, how do the three servers in the basement react?

> Over the weekend, some branches fell on a neighbor’s power service line. They still had power, but the branches had to be removed. That removal occurred this morning. I saw the trucks at about 6:45 AM as I walked past. I suspected I might lose power, and I did. This post records the shutdown and power on times/sequences. I might find this useful should I need to reevaluate the power-outage procedures.

⇒ Updating FreeBSD 15.0 to FreeBSD 15.1 (via pkgbase)

> I decided that Thursday morning at 8:27 AM was the right time to start my first update from FreeBSD 15.0 to 15.1 – all my hosts are now on pkgbase. I used the pgkbasify script. Now it’s time to update again.
