upgrading 11.2-uX jails to 11.3 ?

[Pierce]

is there a documented 'proper' / 'clean' method of updating 11.2 iocage jails to 11.3 ?

I don't think you have to update the jails once you have switched to 11.3
I went through the process and all my jails are still working.
However I understand the need to get the process documented to update the iocage jail in general.
There have been a few posts recently on the subject.

After you have successfully upgraded to 11.3 and your iocage jails are functioning, I would suggest to spend sometime to learn more about 11.3 before doing any changes. There are tons of changes that we need to be familiar with instead of starting to make changes right after upgrade.

nothing in any of my jails right now is even that important. my weather station is down, so I don't need the mysql jail that hosted its data (its all backed up), and my other jails are all just minor things, one that a friend was using to sftp/scp into my nas, but he's not doing that anymore, another I built to host a postgresql server but its not being used, etc etc.

I just want to know the upgrade process, or if its even doable.

I think it is doable, the GUI has an "update" button, so it must take care of the process for you. The question really is whether this is going to break things.

You use the iocage upgrade command to update then.

Yes you should update them. You want userspace and kernal space to be the same version. There can be non backwards compatible changes with certain releases. Usually major version changes.

my experience to date is that FreeBSD is really pretty compatible going forward, I ran 9.3 vintage Warden jails under 11.2 without any apparent issues.... BUT of course, the repositories for packages were gone so I couldn't add anything to them.

so... after i ran pkg upgrade and pkg update in the jail, the UI still shows them as 11.2-p15 or whatever ? I probably need to change something that points to the ports/pkg base online, but I don't really know the details of how any of that works.

Upgrade from 11.2-U7 to 11.3 (system + jails)

I am very pleased to see that version 11.3 was released today, thumbs up!! :D Now i am in the situation that i would like to upgrade my system as soon as possible. Currently i am on FreeNAS 11.2 U7, with 11 generic iocage jails (they are all on 11.2-RELEASE-p4) up and running. Now i am...
