Finally, I created a backup and restored it on a fresh install of the latest version.

Hi Franco,
Thank you for the answer and suggestion...

The automated console backup fails:

Updating to 19.7 fails with a signature error:

Code Select Expand

root@opnsense:~ # opnsense-update -u -r 19.7
Fetching packages-19.7-OpenSSL-amd64.tar: ....................... failed, signature invalid

So I ran: opnsense-update -i -u -r 19.7

This works but then I get all kinds of key errors when I want to update the rest of the system:

Code Select Expand

root@opnsense:~ # opnsense-update
Updating OPNsense repository catalogue...
pkg-static: Repository OPNsense has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database
Fetching meta.txz: 100%    1 KiB   1.5kB/s    00:01

Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%  180 KiB 184.0kB/s    00:01
pkg-static: No trusted public keys found
Unable to update repository OPNsense

How do I refresh the keys?

Otherwise, if I backup my settings for version 19.1.8, can I restore them on a fresh installation of the latest version (20.7.x)?

Cheers!

I also tried running the opnsense-update tool:

# opnsense-update -u -r 20.7.5
Fetching packages-20.7.5-OpenSSL-amd64.tar: .. failed, no signature found

Any ideas why it fails?
What signature does it not find?

Hi,

I've been using OPNsense since 2019, but still figuring out many things.
For instance, how do I update beyond version 19.1.8? The GUI "Check for Updates" reports that "There are no updates available on the selected mirror.".
The command "pkg update ; pkg upgrade" reports that my packages are up-to-date.
In the GUI, I can see the changelog for newer versions though...

Also, how can I tell which version is production or testing?

Many thanks!
