Smooth install

I'm running opnsense on a proxmox vm - HW is N100, 4 core, 16GB. VM hsa 4GB ram 4 vcpu. WAN is Intel I226V passthrough, LAN is proxmox bridge. Internet is PPPoE to a ONT and a 500/70 service. IPv4/6 dual stack

Easy to backup/restore due to proxmox

Seabios for previously install, but UEFI (secure boot disabled) for this one.

Install went cleanly. I chose UFS , and restored my previous configuration.
Basics - dhcp, unbound, pppoe all seemed fine.

I did realise however that a variety of plugins I use (ET Telemetry, crowdsec, qemu,git-backup, chrony,haxproxy are curretly in use) etc for security are not available. That's not a surprise of course (I just didn't think of that!) - and quite a few of these very clearly are tier 3, but for now I've opted to revert to the stable version for now. It will be interesting to see if the security plugins in particular become available in the beta cycle.

Looks good!

If I find some time, I'll have to install this on my other T740 and see if the BSD at-kbd bug is still present. Reference this thread: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=38921.msg190577#msg190577 read to the end for solution if you aren't familiar with this. Would be nice if BSD 14.1 fixed this, but it might be hardware specific.

Thanks for testing! All plugins are available, but only in the development version, but that's 99% the same code for the plugins. That's why the plugins appear missing, but you can find their counterparts easily, e.g. os-crowdsec-devel

Thanks!

I swapped back to the beta image, enabled the -devel versions of the plugins I'd previously had installed, and then restored the latest configuration.

After this the system is working normally. Specifically et telemetry rules are loaded (I did need to explicitly click the button to download rules). Crowdsec is also working. Other plugins seem ok at a quick glance.

However I notice the UI complains about misconfiguration. I've not yet tried automated resolution


I also noticed 'check for updates' returns

The release type "opnsense" is not available on this repository.

Presumably just a beta vs release issue?

There's only opnsense-devel available for now in the tree.  The stable version will come as we approach GA

Yes, your release type is set to "opnsense" from the previous backup import. At the moment only "development" setting will be recognised and updated so just switch it over, but there likely won't be any updates before RC1 anyway and the RCs will also bring back the "opnsense" and non-devel plugins.
