It should work. Read the steps here https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/installation/ in the section Upgrading Using "FreeBSD Update" and then update the pkgs doing
$ pkg update //read the update msgs in case something fails
$ pkg bootstrap -f
$ pkg upgrade

I would do it from the tty tho

I've had just a little problem with pkg upgrade
pkg: libglvnd-1.4.0_2 conflicts with mesa-libs-19.0.8_2 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/include/EGL/egl.h
solved with
pkg delete -f mesa-libs

And then pkg upgrade again.
Perhaps because that was an old installation, Idk

Could be. The graphics stack has changed recently in several ports

I think there's an entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING describing this issue.

anyone here download videos from youtube using yt-dlp or ytdl
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
yt-dlp here
Anonymous
do u notice there is a speed reduction when downloading....
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Actually I changed from ytdl to yt-dlp due to speed reductions when downloading. I'll check yt-dlp later and see if something seems off. Maybe the new changes Google has been doing on Youtube is messing up the protocol

before that mpv was using ytdl, and had this same issue. it then changed to yt-dlp...

Hi dears
Please I want to know when I execute 'pkg update' or 'pkg upgrade' if
is there any risk or impact for the installed services because there are some important servers I don't want to stop or touch them? because I get the below error
root@Server-ZP01:~ # pkg search zabbix
pkg: Repository FreeBSD missing. 'pkg update' required
pkg: http://pkg0.tuk.freebsd.org//FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/meta.txz: Network is unreachable

Thankx

I've never done that, but if you have a pkg that matches the OS version you can use pkg add as Oleg mentioned
XS
in theory you can while the binaries are compatible and the dependencies are satisfied but, why don't just install from ports or bin packages ?
Jekyll
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Both FreeBSD version and architecture mismatch.
yup, just noticed. Fa you need same OS version and architecture. 12armv7 is not 13amd64
Fa
the same FreeBSD and architecture but the first one is already installed before (by another person ) but for the second I get error.

What are you doing concretely? You think it's a good idea installing out-of-tree packages and to not benenefits updates and verification for critical tasks such monitoring? Are u driving drunk ?

I know it's not good idea but I have a zabbix server installed with old version and I need to install a proxy in another FreeBSD server I didn't find the right version of proxy to download it when I check with pkg search command;
can you provide me any idea please ?

Build the package yourself, plan to upgrade your zabbix server.

zabbix62-server-6.2.3 is available .... just saying.

yes but I haven't a permission to upgrade the servers !!

Then just build the package for your agent at the corresponding version you need, then copy the bin and configs to the hosts of the same architecture. Ensure you produce a static bin while building.

if you are a lowly user i be surprised if you can do any changes to the system

why? I have a new task as system agent and I want to learn more from the current problems to get more experience, I have a privilege to do changes but till now everything seem to be ok.

that why I'm asking if I can get a pkg from another FreeBSD machine and install it in new one
XS
You might just want to scp the bins and configs around, from a manually built agent having a different path prefix, like /opt/zabbix_agent/version/[...]
XS
So, easy install, separate from future packages, no conflicts, easily removed.. Drawback is you start the agent by your own means: own rc script or @reboot crontab doing so
XS
I don't tell you that's the way of doing monitoring properly
XS
It's just that you are locked by your old server version.
XS
Try to incitate your boss to upgrade it.

what i meant was, u could try to build it from port and upgrade

You did not read the actual case: he have no access to the server. ( even if it was you can't migrate such servers by snapping fingers )

Guys, I want to build a amd desktop (cpu & gpu) and use FBSD on it to work and play games. What hardware you guys recommend?

Guys, I want to build a amd desktop (cpu & gpu) and use FBSD on it to work and play games. What hardware you guys recommend?
I have a Ryzen 5700G + rx5700xt but I tried FreeBSD on it when support for the gpu was on development. It should (should) work with the new drm-kmod
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
I can recommend you the 5700G APU, since it's a beast for its price. About the gpu, the rx5700xt is really good but maybe it's a bit overpriced

How about a R7 instead of a R5?
could work too, I'd check the compat status with FreeBSD before tho

Hi, is there also anyone using FreeBSD as NAT server which connects to internet via PPPoE, and get an IPv6 prefix for the internal network? I got some problem about this...
XS
Hi, just describe the problem directly in some words, adds details if you feel it could be useful to understand your case.
Jekyll
OK, thanks. I'm using the above mentioned setup, which works mostly fine, except the internal machines couldn't access some specific web sites while the FreeBSD NAT server itself can.

I'm not very familiar with those... and I just failed to login to FreeBSD forum for a few times. 😞

Just reset my password, will try to post to the forum.
Jekyll
But if anyone could give me some hint/suggestion, it would be appreciated.
XS
which specific websites ?
Jekyll
e.g. https://www.gender.ey.gov.tw/ , but FreeBSD server itself can access it via IPv6 with no issue.
Jekyll
Also some Line servers I guess, because my family complains not being able to receive messages when at home.

What is the best dedicated hosting for FreeBSD server in europe ?

you can install FreeBSD at hetzner (using mfsbsd)

otherwise, I’d say maybe Vultr
