The current fix now works as expected and always brings back the console login after an unclean shutdown, which was previously not happening. A small quirk, however, is that while the base system recovers, the OPNsense backend on top may not fully recover directly after the unclean shutdown. In those instances, a manual reboot will bring back the fully operational system and its services. The unclean shutdown dilemma is, however, an unavoidable occurrence and any kernel panic or power failure can corrupt the file system into an unrecoverable state. Having snapshots or backups at hand is a good habit to get into, which can also 'fix' the eventual breakdown of a physical disk. Discussed with: ad@ jos@ Tested by: jos@
OPNsense GUI and system management
The OPNsense project invites developers to startcontributing to the code base. For your own purpose or even better to join us in creating the best open source firewall available.
The build process has been designed to make it truly straightforward and easy for anyone to build and code. Being able to get the sources and build it yourself is one of the key factors of open source software.
Although a lot of the code is still in flux, we try to publish the direction we're taking on our wiki page. The main outline of the new codebase is available at:
https://wiki.opnsense.org/index.php/Develop:Architecture
Our aim is to gradually evolve to a new codebase instead of using a big bang approach into something new.
Build tools
To create working software like OPNsense you need the sources and the tools to build it. The build tools for OPNsense are freely available. No strings attached.
Notes on how to build OPNsense can be found in the tools repository:
