Updates broken?

[kabo]

Hi, I'm having issues with "System > Firmware > Updates" and "System > Firmware > Plugins". I'm trying to get UPnP installed so that applications can open up ports as needed.

When I go to "System > Firmware > Updates" (see attachment)
When I got to "System > Firmware > Plugins" (see attachment)
When I click "Check for updates" it says "Checking... (may take up to 30 seconds)" and then "Connection error".
When I look at "System > Log File" it says:

What's going on?
I'm using default firmware mirror and default firmware flavour.
Is there some way to install plugins from the command line, maybe I can get some more output that way. pfSense seems to have "pfSsh.php", is there an equivalent for OPNSense?

Hi there,

It's likely a connectivity issue, maybe only need to fix DNS resolution.

From the console, try:

# pkg upgrade -n
# ping pkg.opnsense.org

It will show us how far your update would go and if you can resolve DNS.


Cheers,

Thanks, I tried pinging and it worked. I then tried listing the plugins again, and it just worked. I haven't touched this setup at all. Perhaps the mirror I was using was experiencing some kind of issue.

Could be, sounded like an intermittent connectivity issue from the start.


Cheers,
