Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
fetch_only
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Fetch and verify files and create /bsd.upgrade but do not reboot.
Set to false if you want sysupgrade to reboot. This will cause Ansible to error, as it expects the module to exit gracefully. See the examples.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Force upgrade (for snapshots only).
installurl
string
OpenBSD mirror top-level URL for fetching an upgrade.
By default, the mirror URL is pulled from /etc/installurl.
keep_files
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Keep the files under /home/_sysupgrade.
By default, the files will be deleted after the upgrade.
snapshot
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Apply the latest snapshot.
Otherwise release will be applied.

  register: sysupgrade

- name: Reboot to apply upgrade if needed
