Updating OpenBSD

·55 words·1 min

OpenBSD has a few different mechanism to update, depending on what the update is for.

For packages: pkg_add -u

For the kernel and base system: syspatch

For firmware: fw_update

All of these need to get run with doas if you’re not root.

Finally, if you’re moving from one version to another: sysupgrade sysmerge pkg_add -u
