Tutorials and FAQs / Re: OPNsense aarch64 firmware repository
« on: January 23, 2024, 01:01:58 pm »The repository should work with all aarch64 systems, but it only provides packages and sets. Additionally, I do publish images on GitHub, but only for VMs. So unless you're planning to virtualize, you'll need to get a hardware specific image for initial installation from somewhere else (or build your own using the provided sets). Then you can configure this repository for updates and plugins.
So can I run Ubuntu on the 5 and then use a vm to run olnsense ?
Question is: Why would one do that? Raspi 5 has one Interface. Router on a stick? LAN only via wifi?
Calculate the raspi 5, power supply, enclosure, fan etc. and you can buy a cheap x64 (refurbished SFF + PCIe networking card), no trouble with virtual machine. If the argument is "small, for travel", there are alternatives (little more expensive though), too.
Quiet cheap and no heat emit. It's perfect for me
