General Discussion / opnsense ports/package vs freebsd (vs mimugmail)
« on: November 27, 2023, 04:52:44 pm »
My goal: I'm trying to get Homebridge running.
I'm using mimugmail's pkg repo (thanks!) to set up a few other plugins (adguard, etc) and it provides an outdated version of nodejs and after hunting around, I think I need to build node20 and others from ports.
I'm not sure how opnsense differs from the base freebsd. I don't see anything special in make.conf or src.conf... It's been a long time since I've built ports (having switched to pkg a long time ago). Is there a decent Getting Started primer documented somewhere?
