Title: compatible plugins
Post by: skywalker007 on January 31, 2022, 05:12:56 pm

As always, I struggle to find out if alll the plugins I run will be compatible with 22.1.
Is there any way to figure out without trial/error?

thanks!

Do you want to share what plugins you are using? Basically we haven't removed a single plugin vs. 21.7.8 in 22.1 so I'm not sure if you are just unsure or are asking for third party providers...

Just listing the less obvious ones here:
os-api-backup
os-freeradius
os-igmp-proxy
os-siproxd
os-udpbroadcastrelay

Can you confirm they all are supported in 22.1?
Yes - I am just unsure as I think some of these are 3rd party.

thanks! Till

@skywalker007 everything starting with "os-" is an official OPNsense plugin.

ok thanks! Then I assume they'll all work.

I wouldn't say "official" as "os-" is supposed to mimic the FreeBSD ports prefix use for packages of a particular upstream software or language (like "p5-" for Perl or "py38-" for Python 3.8). These packages simply hold OPNsense GUI code and depend on the actual service package they configure and run. Anyone can create them and use the prefix.

Plugin where maintainer is not OPNsense.org are not heavy tested in transition phase. Its up to the community

We do want to introduce a plugin tier/category system that makes this clearer and hope to have this done by 22.7. It should clear up differences between plugin work and development status.
