Title: System:Firmware:Plugins list
Post by: ewtaylo on August 29, 2025, 03:07:52 PM
Hello,
Apologies, I have spent time trying to search for an answer, but none of my queries return the solution.

I was trying to install os-smart plugin on 25.7.  I went to System:Firmware:Plugins and there were many plugins listed.  In the Name field I entered os- which restricted the list as expected.

Seeing that os-smart was not in the list, I did more searching in the forums trying to discover where it went (I think it is in sysutils/smart now).  In the mean time my web session timed out.

When I log back in and go to System:Firmware:Plugins the only thing listed are the os- plugins.  I am unable to clear that filter to get back to the entire list.

Am I missing something very obvious?

Check the address field in your browser. Maybe the search expression is part of a cached URL.

Did you checked the community section of the plugins? On the right TOP side is a button.

Yes, check "Show community plugins".

Thank you for your help.  Checking the "show community plugins" reveals quite a few more plugins.

I am having a hard time remembering exactly what the original list looked like prior to me typing in os- in the Name field.  Is it a correct statement that on a fresh install of 25.7 every plugin listed in the System:Firmware:Plugins area of the web console starts with os-?  If so I feel like a fool typing os- in the Name field when they are all named os-

Yes, they are all named os-* for "OPNsense".

LOL.  I spent so much time trying to "fix it" because I thought I originally saw a "different" list.  I really appreciate your help. No wonder I couldnt figure out the correct search on the forum.

In FreeBSD ports packages dependent on a particular language or project have a prefix and we chose "os-" for all our plugins indeed.

That also makes them distinguishable from the upstream software, e.g. "squid" and "os-squid".
