Is it possible to perform an upgrade using file locally present on TrueNAS server?

Hello,

I'm configuring a TrueNAS server with a pretty good internet connection, from a slow home connection on the other side of the planet. When I initiate an upgrade (TrueNAS-22.12.3.2 -> TrueNAS-22.12.3.3) using the "download updates" button in the UI, the patch file downloads at a terribly slow speed (few bytes/sec), taking forever and always failing after a couple hours. I'm certain that the server could download much faster, because when I run wget in a shell on the server to fetch the update image, it downloads at several MB/s. As my home connection is also pretty slow, a "manual update" (i.e. downloading to home PC and uploading to the server) would be a poor choice. Is there a way to use the file I downloaded with wget that's sitting in a folder on the server anyway to perform the update? The UI doesn't seem to support that, but I was wondering if it could be achieved in some way, e.g. via a shell command?

Depending on what file you downloaded... you need the manual update file.

Just grab it from your server and use it in the browser/GUI.

Thanks for the reply.

That's exactly what I was trying to achieve, however, I don't see an option to use a file on the server. "Manual update" opens a file selector window that can pick from local PC content, not the server, or at least I haven't been able to figure out how. Are you certain that it is possible? I can look harder or perhaps you could kindly give me a hint how to do it.

Like I said...

meaning use scp or some kind of share to transfer the file to your computer and use it from there... otherwise, you can use the CLI to upgrade with the file:

Update

SCP or any other means involving transferring the file to my home PC don't help as I'm on a very slow connection. The CLI update process is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I'm still curious how it is possible that the GUI downloads at a much slower speed than what's doable from the CLI...
