Hi guys!
I made serveral configuration on community 22.7.
Now I purchased a business subscription, which is on version 22.4
Question:
How to get from community 22.7 to business 22.4 ?
I found several tutorials, but none worked for me
Does opnsense-bootstrap or opnsense-revert help in this situation without loosing my hole config ?
Thanks a lot!
Anton
Hi Anton,
Fundamentally 22.1/22.4 and 22.7 don't differ, but the linked business edition of 22.10 is not yet available (3 months delay from the community edition), so it's not easy to go backwards and also why switching to business does not work on 22.7.
The cleanest way is to reinstall with the image for 22.4 using the config importer in the installer before reinstalling to keep all your settings (have a config.xml backup ready nevertheless). Care needs to be taken for features that don't exist yet, which is a bit difficult to assess, e.g. acme-client and haproxy features which get lots of new features all the time.
In general, however, most settings provide ample backward compatibility for the older OPNsense to come up cleanly and work fine.
The 22.4 image can be found here: https://opnsense-update.deciso.com/
