Firmware update does not work

[tbednarz]

Hi everybody

I have two opnSense firewalls, where one is a backup device, just in case one fails. The backup machine I sometimes use for travel, since it is a desktop version and not a rackmout device.

Now I was a bit lazy and did not update the desktop version for more than 6 months. It still has version 22.7.10_2 installed. When I try to update the firmware, I got lots of Certificate errors:

Could anybody help me to get the update to the latest version working? Many thanks.

Sorry for this request. I tried again after a few minutes after a reboot and I could update to 22.7.11 without any errors. Now it is updating to 23.

Dont know why I got all those errors shown in my post...

I suppose the certificate on the server wasn't valid yet when you tried it almost 6 years ago.

In all seriousness looks like NTP took a while to kick in.

Ohh thats strange. The box was turned off for about 6 MONTHS not years! Maybe I was too fast after the first boot after such a long time. It may first have to sync time with a NTP server and I don't know what else is running in the background. But six YEARS ago I dit not yet own this machine!!!

Maybe CMOS battery bad or empty and NTP was working on fixing that already but took more time to rush through the decades

Not sure if the issue has a similar cause, but since yesterday, I cannot perform updates and get the following message :
I struggle to understand what's going on because this weekend it prompted me to upgrade to a more recent version of Opnsense.... now it's not prompting anymore.

I am on 22.7.11_1 and would like to update to 23.1 or later if possible.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

While this report was solved and totally unrelated your problem simply is that you have a third party repo enabled that is not reachable:

> OPNsense repository update completed. 819 packages processed.

Notice our repository updated ok...

> Updating SunnyValley repository catalogue...
> pkg: https://updates.sunnyvalley.io/opnsense/FreeBSD:13:amd64/22.7/OpenSSL/latest/meta.txz: Not Found

I'd recommend removing os-sunnyvalley and that brings update functionality back.
