General Discussion / Update to Specific Release Version

« on: April 03, 2024, 09:39:03 pm »

Hi,

I've been enjoying using OPNsense but now have more and more to manage.  We have 2 HA clusters setup to allow for testing on one cluster before updating the main cluster.  My question is, is there a way for force the update to a specific version and not just the latest version?  I've been digging around here and all over the internet, and have been trying some testing using opnsense-update using the -r option, but have not found the solution yet.

For example, I currently have version 23.7.10 installed and would like to upgrade the first cluster to 24.1.2, wait a certain amount of time, then complete the same upgrade path on the main cluster.  Would this be possible?

Thanks!

High availability / Squid configuration not reloading on second node after xmlrpc sync

« on: February 16, 2024, 03:22:54 pm »

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem which I've only just noticed.  When I modify the Squid configuration on my primary node and perform an xmlrpc sync to the secondary node, the Squid configuration is not automatically reconfigured/reloaded.  I need to connect to the secondary node and manually reconfigure/reload the Squid configuration for the synchronized changes to be taken into account.  Is this normal behaviour?  I can't remember ever having to do this before, but I'm also not 100% sure that this hasn't been a problem in the past as I don't modify the Squid configuration very often.

Thanks for any insight!

23.7 Legacy Series / Squid error pages unavailable following update to 23.7.8

« on: November 13, 2023, 03:48:00 pm »

Hello,

It appears that the OPNsense squid configuration templates need to be updated for the change in language file paths with the update to 23.7.8 when using Squid error pages.  The template configures Squid to look for the error pages under /usr/local/share/squid-langpack/en-us which doesn't exist.  The actual path is /usr/local/share/squid-langpack/en.

This error unfortunately causes Squid to fail to start.  A workaround is to select the OPNsense error pages instead.

I'm not sure who would be responsible for adapting the template configuration following a modification by Squid package maintainers.

Thanks,

Ashley

23.1 Legacy Series / Squid error pages are missing after upgrade from 5.7 to 5.8 in OpnSense 23.1.4

« on: March 22, 2023, 11:29:57 am »

Hello,

I've noticed while applying OpnSense upgrades yesterday and today that the Squid update from 5.7 to 5.8 on the two OpnSense firewalls that I've upgraded causes the error pages to disappear.  The Squid service then refuses to start.  As a workarround, I've simply copied the errors directory from another OpnSense firewall, which allows the Squid service to start correctly.  I'm uncertain why the error pages seem to be deleted during the update, but this could be painful for those that do not have another firewall available.
