Just for the archives, one can provide the URL on the command line, which I think is more sensible for this particular usecase: $ doas sysupgrade -n http://ftp.hostserver.de/archive/2020-05-14-0105 [...] $ what /home/_sysupgrade/bsd /home/_sysupgrade/bsd: OpenBSD 6.7-current (GENERIC) #181: Wed May 13 12:43:30 MDT 2020 -- I'm not entirely sure you are real.
