yes, it is published in the OPNsense repository since - no need to download a prerelease

I am now considering using this feature in combination with the os-acme-client and the os-haproxy plugins to facilitate the automatic retrieval of Letsencrypt certificates for the man-in-the-middle OPNSense box. This will be some work, particularly because my OPNSense box sits behinds the FritzBox which connects the LAN to the internet.You won't get a CA certificate from Let's Encrypt. Thats strictly forbidden. You can only issue server certificates for domains under your control.
For my code projects i have my own repository arrangement in my cloud system and it backs up to google drive, so i have never needed to use git, nor did i really trust putting my source code there, but i do see the advantages of github despite that.
logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-opnsensefilter
The only info that I found so far is...the certificate and private keys must be in RSA PEM format.
Would these be the right commands for converting?
openssl rsa -in switch1.key -outform PEM -out switch1.crt.pem
openssl x509 -in switch1.crt -outform PEM -out switch1.key.pem
Everybody gets it, but in another beam of light: it's not about "English Only" as much as possible just because it's (should be) official, nor just because other languages are harder to understand and follow. While all these are true, I only say that important and generally applicable topics, like bug reports, feature requests, best practices advice, how-tos and so on and so forth would be preferable to be in English so that any one (or at least as many people as possible, now and in the future) to be able to understand them, easily find and spot them, easily see if somebody else had/ has the same issues or feature request as that first one has... you get the point.That's already the case.
And, of course, since human kind in its entirety is prone to solutions of minimum resistance (we are all lazy, so to say), let's imagine for a moment what happens if I would write Romanian here (my native language), and be fortunate enough to get answers in Romanian from Franco, Michael, Frank, Fabian, Comet, Elektroinside (he is able to answer in Romanian, though ) and most of, if not every single heavy poster around here, just because they are comfortable with Romanian.Sure you can write in Romanian if there would be a forum for it as long as there is a community for that language it is perfectly ok. If somebody types a question into a search engine, this person will be probably very happy so see some results than none.
Why would I ever write again in a non-native language?!?! I wouldn't!
But to what degree I would be pushing the break pedal in helping the entire community, in attracting, maintaining and being useful for people speaking any other language than Romanian?...
Same goes for German speakers (maybe French too, soon if not already): I agree, the most spoken language in that community is probably German (and definitely German is spoken by far much more people than Romanian, not only here, but worldwide). But this is very likely to change here, considering that OPNsense/ Deciso aim to a worldwide impact.Will very likely not change because the software is developed in english (with translation in mind) and the forums reflect the user base.
The English community is bigger, therefore more information is shared (not necessarily of a better quality), nonetheless probably has more professionals and filled with more issues to learn about.
I might be wrong, but in the IT world, most people will turn to international communities anyway, only a few will use localized forums, especially when it comes to such a niche product as opensource firewalls.
