Hi,
a while ago there has been a thread in the same spirit as this one, but with no result.
With freenas moving from warden to iocage I'm wondering if that will bring any changes to the jail upgrade mechanism. In the past jails weren't that easy to upgrade so it was often suggested to scrap and redo them.
The goal is to run a some services (nginx, postgresql, etc.) and I need to decide between a VM (which is easy to upgrade) or a jail.
Jailer writes that jails can't receive major upgrades. However, Steve Dickinson mentions it's possible.
So again: Is there an easy (and supported) way to continuously keep a jail (iocage) upgraded? CLI or GUI counts as long as it's supported. If that's not the case I'll rather set up the services in a VM.
If it is possible to upgrade the jail, what's the recommended way?
