I guess you are right. I was just hoping there is a simple way...
Thanks for the discussion.

Well, the script

Code: [Select]

opnsense-bootstrap.sh brings the OPNsense packages to the local system. This seems to run and complete successfully.
However, after a reboot all hell breaks loose: lots of error messages and not even the

Code: [Select]

opnsense-shell output is visible.
I will dive a little deeper into that script issue, but I guess that's not the right way to bring up a stable installation of OPNsense.

General Discussion / Migration from pfSense to OPNsense without installation?

« on: February 17, 2019, 08:29:00 pm »

Hi all,

is there a way to go from a running pfSense system to OPNsense without installing OPNsense first?

I know the backup-and-restore-method to replace pfSense by OPNsense, but that doesn't work for remote devices.

My concern is: how can I migrate to OPNsense on hardware devices, which are not physically close to me?

Both pfSense and OPNsense run the same operating system, so I hope there is some update path.

I imagine some kind of migration script, that runs on pfSense, collects the OPNsense packages, converts the configuration and magically converts the device to OPNsense.

Cheers,
-Markus
