+====== Updating Jails ======
-bespini st-n /jail for status/ uses pkg-base (jamanakin bsd kar pkg chkar compile eir anum, os updati hamar ogtagorcum ein freebsd updatey, kam rustdatey. in 15 you can use pkg for updating os, thsts why its called package base. manramasnery /etc/pkg/base where we configed package server url from org to am). in bespin freebsd-base {enabled: no}. there is a way to migrate to make it pkg base. not now but its possible.
+Jails may be **pkgbase** (using ''pkg'' for the base system) or **not pkgbase** (using ''freebsd-update'' / ''freebsd-rustdate'' for the base system). The two are independent: a jail can be pkgbase even if its host is not, and vice versa.
+**pkgbase** means using ''pkg'' for updating the base system. This is a relatively new practice in FreeBSD, available since 15.0. Before ''pkg update/upgrade'', people would use ''freebsd-update'' (traditional) or ''freebsd-rustdate'' (newer alternative) for updating the OS. See ''/etc/pkg/Base.conf'' for further information.
+Note, it is possible to migrate a non-pkgbase system to pkgbase. Look that up if needed.
+===== Updating pkgbase Jails =====
+<code>
+mount -t devfs devfs <path/to/jail>/dev
+pkg-static -c </path/to/jail> update && pkg-static -c </path/to/jail> upgrade
+</code>
+===== Updating NOT pkgbase Jails =====
+You can use ''freebsd-update'' or ''freebsd-rustdate'' **from the host**, targeting the jail. You give ''freebsd-rustdate'' the path of the jail base with the ''-b'' flag and the path of the updating tool with ''-w'', and pass the subcommand at the end to be executed:
+<code>
+freebsd-rustdate -b /usr/local/jails/<jailname> -w /usr/local/jails/<jailname>/var/db/freebsd-update/ check
+freebsd-rustdate -b /usr/local/jails/<jailname> -w /usr/local/jails/<jailname>/var/db/freebsd-update/ fetch
+freebsd-rustdate -b /usr/local/jails/<jailname> -w /usr/local/jails/<jailname>/var/db/freebsd-update/ install
+</code>
