FAQ How to use the opnsense-importer?

[Ben.]

Hi,

I am about to migrate from *sense to OPNsense and prepared a configuration in a VM to have as little downtime as possible. Afterwards I exported the configuration and wanted to import it with the opnsense-importer during startup of a live environment to test it.

First I put it on the OPNsense partition on the USB drive but I couldn't provide a path, only a drive name.
Secondly I put it with the original name on a second USB drive but it always said "No previous config found".
Thirdly I put it as "config.xml" on the second USB drive but it still said "No previous config found".

As I couldn't find anything in the documentation (man-page also not mentioning how to do it), I had a look at the code...
The configuration-file needs to be put in

conf/config.xml

of the USB drive.

I would suggest to add

• the option to provide a local path
• the option to download from a remote path (e.g. website)

[franco]

1. opnsense-importer is for importing either full or partial installations. The layout is fixed for this reason.
2. this would require networking. opnsense-importer runs under the assumption that no network is available.


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for your reply, Franco.

The Importer is expecting a OPNsense-installation on the USB drive?

Ok, this was not clear to me. I thought it's looking for a configuration only.

As the Importer can be run from shell, I still think it would be a nice feature, but I see your point.

[franco]

The tool imports not only a single config as it can deal with all previous backups, DHCP leases, Captive Portal database, DUID, RRD and Insight data. You could backup /conf from a running machine and restore your system in a heartbeat with it beyond the mere import of a config.xml which can be easily done from the GUI. We don't want to solve every problem everywhere.


Cheers,
Franco

I recently purchased a DEC4040 which came with OPNSense business edition. I have a Protectli box with well-configured settings running smoothly. To minimize disruption to the network, per recommendation here, I copied entire

Perhaps it's trying to recover from an interface mismatch still in the imported config.xml.

But not sure what is going on without you posting the output of the command (and perhaps subsequent boot).

If domain name is discarded I wonder if to be imported XML file is malformed and therefore not accepted. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Hello all,

I feel as if the Installation & Configuration wiki should have directions on how to use OPNsense Importer. (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#opnsense-importer)   The OPNsense Importer feature offers great flexibility in recovering failed firewalls quickly or testing new releases with existing configurations without installing. The problem is nowhere in the wiki does it demonstrate how to use OPNsense Importer correctly.  So, I’m posting my findings here. I wouldn't mind updating the Installation Wiki, how can I submit changes?

To use OPNsense Importer during the installation boot-up process do the following:

1.   You must have a 2nd USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32 File system.
      a.   Preferable non-bootable USB drive.
2.   Create a conf directory on the root of the USB drive
3.   Put an unencrypted backup xml or configuration into /conf and rename the file to config.xml
      

Code: [Select]

/conf/config.xml4.   Put both the Installation drive and the 2nd USB drive into the system and power up / reboot.   
5.   Boot the system from the OPNsense Installation drive via BIOS or Boot Menu.
6.   Press a key when you see: “Press any key to start the configuration importer”
7.   Type the device name of the 2nd USB Drive, e.g. da0 , and press Enter.
      a.   If Importer was successful the boot process will continue to boot into the OPNsense Live environment using the configuration you provided.
      b.   If unsuccessful importer will error and return you to the device selection prompt.  Suggest repeating steps 1–3 again.


In case of failure, the Importer is a quick way to get OPNsense back up and running.  Understand at this point the system is using the Live Environment from the installation media but using the configuration from a system backup.  You will still need to repair or install OPNsense onto the firewall which will cause disruptions in network traffic.  Once the installation finishes and the firewall reboots. OPNsense will be fully restored with the existing configuration.
