I'm new to both FreeBSD and FreeNAS, but so far I quite like the jails and have already accumulated about 6-7 jails, with plans to double or triple that number in the next month as I'm transitioning various things to FreeNAS.
But with that I'm starting to get worried about stale packages in jails. Some jails/plugins will update themselves, but most won't. So what do people do? Do you set up some sort of notification system and them manually update, or do you automatically update packages, or do you just let them be until you just must upgrade, or some other option?
In case that makes a difference - I'm a long time Linux user and am very comfortable with never seeing a gui.
