Thanks a lot for your reply. Your one answer was able to help me find the other answers :)

I was able to locate this thread on the forum which mentions a one-time release for Raspberry Pi ARM. (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3793.msg13161#msg13161)

I also located this on FreeBSD and ARM (https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html) which mentions that FreeBSD runs on a select list of ARM cores, SoC, and Boards.

I am going to try and install and find out first-hand.

Happy New Year guys!!

Will OPNsense run on ARM architecture? Will it generally run on any architecture which runs Android/Linux?
Which distribution of Linux is OPNsense based on? I tried searching for the answers, but couldn't find any.
Thanks for your input!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  :D
I got the bootstrapper to start!

I essentially want to perform this on my AWS VM.

I don't understand the steps required. Hope this illustrates the case better.

Cheers!

Hi Franco!

I am trying to start a virtual machine in the Amazon Web Services cloud. I want to run OPNsense on the VM.

Reading through the OPNsense manual, I gathered that I would have to start with a stock FreeBSD installation in the virtual machine, and then use the opnsense-bootstrap.sh file to load OPNsense on top of the OS.

However, after downloading the three files in the URL- https://github.com/opnsense/update/tree/master/bootstrap and running sh, I get this

Code Select Expand

sh opnsense-bootstrap.sh
opnsense-bootstrap.sh: 5: Syntax error: newline unexpected (expecting word)


What command should I be running?

I have a OPNsense router configured and running at home. As I installed through a bootable USB, I didn't have to go through this process. Thank you for finding time to reply, your help is much appreciated :)

Hi,

I am working on a fresh install of stock FreeBSD 10 in AWS.

I downloaded src from https://github.com/opnsense/src using wget.
I chmoded the files with +x

As root, I tried

Code Select Expand

root@ip: sh opnsense-bootstrap.sh
5: Syntax error: newline unexpected (expecting word)

I am new to opnsense and FreeBSD, though I have 5+ years of experience with Fedora and Ubuntu.

Please help, my intention is to start a FreeBSD based OPNsense installation in AWS.
