Clone sd card to a larger one
«

Good morning,
I have an Opensense installed on an 8GB SD card.
I ran out of space, and I cloned the card to a 32 GB SD.
I use the Win32DiskImager application. I've cloned the card, but it still recognizes the 8 GB. I'm afraid I have to move the size of partitions. With gparted of ubuntu (for its easy graphic environment) it does not recognize the file system. Is there any way to be able to,simple , go from an 8GB card to a 32 GB card?
Thank you so much,
Greetings.

Hi!
You need a BSD-system, with GUI e.g. TrueOS.
I guess easiest way: save your config, copy fresh image (self-expanding iirc) to new SD-card, after first boot import config, done...

Thanks chemlud.
I downloaded the file OPNsense-17.1-OpenSSL-nano-amd64.img, I have burned it on a USB with the RUFUS application, but I directly start the opnsense, I do not get any installation wizard.
Have I downloaded the correct file? How can I see the installation menu?

The nano image is meant to start without an installation routine. Can you copy it to your SD card instead of a USB stick?
You can use the vga or the serial USB image to install OPNsense onto local storage, depending on your hardware having a text console (vga) or not (serial)

Yepp, I though: SD-card means nano image, which is simply copied over to the medium and booted. What you have now is opnsense on a USB-stick :-)
But you can also do a full install with the correct image for DVD/USB install. After first boot (no matter which image/kind of install you choose) import your config.xml and you'r there... ;-)
