Announce: new OPNsense community repository

[becks0815]

I just upgraded opnsense to 22.1.7, checked the plugin page and found "os-adguardhome-maxit (orphaned)". Does this mean the package is no longer available, or is it discontinued and I either have to find a way on how to install Adguard home on opnsense or do I have to install it on a second machine now to keep it up to date?

No, I will take care of it

[mimugmail]

Everything should be in place now

@mimugmail when we install tailscale from package via your community repo, what if anything gets backed up in system => config => backups => download configuration ? 

[mimugmail]

Nothing, because its not a plugin

[zerodamage]

Maybe it's been asked already so I apologize if so.  I noticed that Caddy and other reverse proxies are available but I do not see NPM or Nginx Proxy Manager.  Is this something planned for this repo? 

[mimugmail]

Imho they are not available in FreeBSD ports

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Their only method of deployment is as a docker container - so there ...

Better explore caddy - reputedly one of the best reverse proxy solutions around with Letsencrypt builtin.

Nothing. Caddy's USP is that the ACME HTTP protocol is builtin. So you setup www.mydomain.de, set "Letsencrypt on" and the rest is handled by magic. Plus the config is significantly shorter and easier to understand than either Apache or NginX, because "reasonable defaults". If you have just a single backend server and need SSL termination and SNI because "one static IP address", IMHO Caddy is for you.

Thanks!

I really like the community repo so far.
A great addition would be docker to give us tons of more features one could add to OPNsense. Maybe the installation of docker could be combined with Portainer for a web UI to easily manage the docker containers.

Docker is a Linux ABI based technology. OPNsense does not run on Linux.

I know that but docker is available on FreeBSD since June 2015 too.

PS: Yes, I read that it's currently broken but maybe they'll fix it at some point in the future.

They wont,  I know the guy :)
