Upgrading to 13.0-U4 from 13.0-BETA1, remotely

[chuck990]

I'd like to move off the beta branch and onto the stable release now that it's overtaken me. (I've been on 13.0-BETA1 since it launched, 13.0-U4 is now stable). Only worry is, I'm not on-site, and my access to the machine is through a jail on the same instance, running WireGuard.
If the Jail is set to start on boot, and is already on 13.1-RELEASE-p1, am I at risk of losing access after the update? Does it make a difference that I want to swap from the preview release to the production one?

Would appreciate any advice!

Cheers

Unless you have IPMI console access to your machine, it's prudent to wait until you have physical console access before attempting the upgrade.

Prudent for sure, but is it necessary?

Since you stay with the TrueNAS 13.0 series, I would say that it should work with very little risk to loose access.

Anyways many other issues may happen on a server, so an IPMI access is very important for a remote server.
