Hotfix 24.1.2_1 released.

OPNsense 24.1.3 aarch64 packages and sets released. Includes hotfix 24.1.3_1.

This took longer than usual because my build attempts kept failing repeatedly. This issue most likely was the culprit. The patch for portmaster was merged into opnsense/ports last night and I was able to complete the builds today.

Hi Maurice,

I yesterday read a news on heise.de newsticker a polish company will provide a 2,5Gbit/s hat for raspi 5.

Will that be supported? I really would like to safe some power. My x86 hardware uses over 30w at the moment and thiy would be a great improvement, if the raspi 5 incl addon. Realtek NICs would be supported

See Marinoz' question earlier in this thread. My focus is on providing up-to-date packages, sets and VM images. I currently have no plans to work on hardware-specfic patches / images. Others are more active in this field.

OPNsense 24.1.4 aarch64 packages and sets released.

[Gx4tf3N47T]

Hello Maurice,

I successfully built the image using the precompiled set as per your instructions for the OPNsense VM. Here is the command I used:

make update prefetch-base,kernel,packages vm-qcow2,4G,never,serial SETTINGS=24.1 VERSION=24.1.3 DEVICE=ARM64VM MIRRORS=https://opnsense-update.walker.earth

After creating an A1.Flex instance on Oracle Cloud with this image, I installed the os-acme-client, os-haproxy, and os-iperf plugins. Everything seemed to work fine for a while, but I noticed that OPNsense is randomly rebooting. In the System: Log Files: General section of the web UI, only the message "---<<BOOT>>---" appears, and I cannot see what happened before that.
I'm curious to know if this issue is unique to me, if it's specific to the ARM64 platform, or if it's a bug in version 24.1.3.

Also, it seems that version 24.1.4 has been released recently. How can I update OPNsense to the latest version?

Thank you.

I haven't observed any unexpected reboots on OCI A1.Flex, so not sure what's going on there. The current uptime of my OPNsense test instance there is 32 days. I'm not using os-haproxy or os-iperf though, so you might want to test running it without these two plugins for a while.

The OPNsense package included in my aarch64 packages set is preconfigured with my firmware repo. Since you prefetched that, you can simply update OPNsense the normal way (using the Web UI or the console).

Hello Maurice,

Thank you for your response. It seems that the issue has disappeared after updating to 24.1.4 using the Web UI. I'm not sure, but it seems there might have been some errors during the self-build process.

Edit: In fact, the random reboot issue was caused by suricata. However, it's not certain whether this issue is influenced by arm64 or Oracle Cloud virtualization.

OPNsense 24.1 aarch64 ....  is working well on Orange Pi 5 Plus.

Would you mind sharing your build or the steps you took? I'm trying to get it working on my OPI5+ as well. Thank you.

OPNsense 24.1.8 aarch64 delayed until further notice. caddy-custom fails to build.

The resources I can currently assign to OPNsense stuff are unfortunately sufficient for routine builds only, no troubleshooting. So no ETA, sorry (unless someone's crystal ball comes up with a quick fix).

I would recommend removing www/caddy from both ports and plugins configuration and releasing without it. This can be an option... it will show up as orphaned but continue to work as before.


Cheers,
Franco
