Title: Running OPNsense on Apple Silicon
Post by: markkoz29 on March 02, 2023, 01:31:15 pm

Hello everybody.
I have successfully installed OPNsense on my Mac running M1Pro CPU with VMware Fusion. For my personal lab testing. Image I got from this site:
https://personalbsd.org/?page_id=2
But I faced with issue of first logging into system. As tutorial says it is need login in terminal as «installer» with password «opnsense». But everything I tried is incorrect. Also tried via Web GUI which works fine, but credentials still incorrect.
Maybe someone can help with this issue? Or suggest another image of VM aarch64 for VMware?

Possibly these images are an installed version already and not the installer image?

Without asking whoever made these one cannot tell for sure. You could try logging in as root, typing "8" to get a shell and typing "df" - that should give us some hints.

Is this possible even I have passed the process of initial configuration of LAG, VLAN, interfaces and so one?
File has extension .vmdk

I can't login as root. Because there no information about default password for root user. root/root - is incorrect.

Oh God, I thought I was tried that pair of credentials.
Thank you! logged successfully.
Now I can complete configuration via web gui and wizard there.

If your changes persist after a reboot the image is a fully installed version.
