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
