General Discussion / Opnsense running in AWS EC2 - failure to upgrade
« on: June 09, 2023, 04:38:11 am »
He peeps,
i really didnt know where to put this so hope this is ok.
I have one big problem, that is nagging me for some months now. We have our own VPC in AWS, where we are running multiple VMs with AWS EC2.
The OpnSense is our main VPN gateway, that enables us to reach everything inside that VPN of ours.
Here are some data regarding the OPNSense:
- v. 21.7.8
- instance type: t2.small (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2676 v3 @ 2.40GHz (1 cores), 2GB RAM)
- 10GB hard drive (ssd, gp2).
- services: VPN, ha-proxy, fw - nothing special
Of course, my wish would be to be on the latest version, but everytime i try to update this opnsense to 22.1 (doesnt matter GUI or CLI, i tried everything) the upgrade goes ok, then the vm reboots and does not bott anymore.
I cant find the cause for this. My only explanation would be, that the freebsd 13 upgrade has something to do with the type of the instance? Has anybody had such issues?
I dont know what to do except make a new instance and then manually import the config and so on... but that would be a lot of work.
THanks for your feedback!
