Title: Upgrade form OPNsense 18.1.13_1-amd64
Post by: sirio81 on September 23, 2018, 06:04:14 pm

Hi all, is it possible to backup the configuration of opnsense 18.1.x and restore it to a new 18.7?
Is there another way to upgrade to latest stable?

thank you

You can back-up the config file, saving it to your PC. You could then go for a clean install and import the config from the GUI when the new installation has completed. Or you can install from media and import during re-installation, it will ask you if you wish to import the config from the old installation.

If by "another way" you mean excluding the way of "config export, reinstall and reimport"... then yes, there are other and better ways.

What Martin said is correct.

But you can also upgrade via console/SSH or web GUI.

The console menu option 12, type "18.7" to confirm.

The web GUI under System: Firmware: Updates. Unlock update. Confirm. Click "upgrade now" to begin.
