Dear akhiltoor, thanks for this suggestion - it makes sense to revise my HowTo and add some hardcopies.
In the next month I'll switch to new hardware and V 21.1.
Then I'll rewrite the HowTo ...

I'd love to see an updated version. I'd be happy to help test things out too.

Thanks for the writeup!

I am indeed that guy.

Getting the configd service to work seems to have fixed the WireGuard issue. I am getting keys generated just fine now.

Here is the output of clog on configd.log:

root@bifrost:/home/nfugal # clog /var/log/configd.log
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


If I check the file with nano or vi, it appears empty.  ls also reports the file as 0 bytes:

root@bifrost:/home/nfugal # ls -alh /var/log/
total 133272
drwxr-xr-x   9 root        wheel        1.5K Sep  3 05:36 .
drwxr-xr-x  32 root        wheel        512B Aug 23 16:43 ..
-rw-------   1 root        wheel          0B Sep  3 04:32 configd.log

I've tried delete and recreate several times with no success.

Are there any logs or anything that might help?

Some poking around with a coworker points to a permissions issue.

The permissions were

-rwx------  1 root  wheel   6.6K Aug 29 20:51 /usr/local/opnsense/service/configd.py

After adding permissions for group as well the service can start.

Not sure how/why the permissions would have changed.

I just noticed that that log file doesn't have anything very recent in it.

I tried clearing it to see if the wonkiness at the end was stopping it from updating, and it has stayed blank thus far.

I'm trying to test out WireGuard too.

I can't seem to get my setup to generate the keys. After saving I still get the results in the attached screenshot.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Here you go. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1suzyvQQZWc47TOVBfbut2uw-5zdZ0ds-

I'm not sure what is going on with the end of the file.

I see that there are a lot of messages regarding NUT in here. I'll try disabling that to see if it makes a difference.

At the very least it should help the log be easier to parse.

I've poked around and not found anyone with the same problem.

If the answer is already here, please let me know.

I am running version 18.7.1_3 (freshly installed, not an upgrade). I can't get configd to start. I get the following error message:

nfugal@bifrost:~ % service configd status
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/configd: WARNING: cannot read shebang line from /usr/local/opnsense/service/configd.py
configd is not running.

Starting via the WebUI doesn't work either.

I'm happy to post logs or share whatever other info is helpful.

Thanks!
