General Discussion / backup with API

« on: January 29, 2024, 01:02:29 am »

I've gotten the script working from https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=15349.0 but I want to backup the RRD data as well. 

Does anyone know if there is a flag or additional command to backup that as well?

Zenarmor (Sensei) / [worked around] Zenarmor with ADGuard

« on: January 13, 2024, 08:28:34 pm »

I installed AdGuard and now I'm trying to add Sensei but after install and I start the config. it says:

It looks like you also have mimugmail community repo enabled.
Please be advised that this repo is also serving Elasticsearch and Mongodb packages with their dependencies. In this regard zenarmor and community repositories are not compatible when enabled at the same time. If you would like to continue using both repositories, we advise to install Elasticsearch from the community repository and point zenarmor to this database as a "Remote Elasticsearch" database.

I tried to install Elasticsearch but that wasn't very intuitive so I removed it and thought I'd ask for help/direction here.  I searched from a how to on Elasticseach but there wasn't much, only one google page worth, and none of them were howtos.

How should I proceed?

Thank you!

General Discussion / Build second FW identical to the first

« on: January 06, 2024, 04:01:14 pm »

Hello,
1st post here.  I've been on pfsense over a year and a half to two years now and now I'm on OPNsense.  So far I'm really liking it and only have a couple things I was doing on my pfsense that I need to figure out on OPNsense.

Anyway, my pfsense box just up and died and I was thinking about going to OPNsense a few months before that.  So I took the opportunity to make the switch.  Now I would like to build a second OPNsense just like the first.  What's the best way to go about that?  The part I'm having trouble with is the interfaces?  How can I build up the second one BEHIND the first?  I could use different IPs for the LAN and WAN during the build but how do I get the correct IPs before taking it down?  The end goal is to have the second one sitting ready to power up, apply the lastest backup from the first, which is stored on the NAS and not on itself, switch the cables and be running again with minimal downtime. 

Of course I'd have to plug it in once in a while to apply updates and maybe apply the latest backup and power off again.  Oh and I'll be sure to install all of the same plugins I have on the 1st/production one.

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!
