* Services: ISC DHCPv6 - show "tracking" interfaces when enabled an offer an explicit disable option for the service in question so someone could use dnsmasq or kea instead. To avoid large changes, we opt for a minimal set here. In services_dhcpv6.php, we add a separate form and handler in case tracking (without dhcpd6track6allowoverride) is set, which either flushes the unused isc-dhcpv6 server configuration when enabled (default) or writes a small section only including ['enabled' => -1]. For visibility, we show the calculated range as would be set by dhcpd_dhcp6_configure() when tracking is used. The backend code then double checks the services which er explicitly disabled (-1) and skip processing for these (not enabled). In order to make people aware of the fact that an isc-dhcpv6 server could be running, make sure the menu system also reflects reality. Since router advertisements are stored within the same container and will need a toggle as well, keep the value of ramode so we have a way to intervene in a similar way as for dhcpv6. One small side affect of this commit is that it will show "Services: Router Advertisements" for the tracking interface, which we need to implement later. One of the building blocks for: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/8528 * Update src/www/services_dhcpv6.php Co-authored-by: Franco Fichtner <franco@opnsense.org> * Services: Router Advertisements: show "tracking" interfaces when enabled an offer an explicit disable option for the service in question so someone could use dnsmasq instead. More or less the same construction as added for dhcpv6, using the ramode field to switch between types (disabled or assisted). While here, also bugfix fieldname in services_dhcpv6.php also for https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/8528 --------- Co-authored-by: Franco Fichtner <franco@opnsense.org>
OPNsense GUI and system management
The OPNsense project invites developers to start contributing to the code base. For your own purposes or – even better – to join us in creating the best open source firewall available.
The build process has been designed to make it easy for anyone to build and write code. The main outline of the new codebase is available at:
https://docs.opnsense.org/development/architecture.html
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.
Notes on how to build OPNsense can be found in the tools repository:
https://github.com/opnsense/tools
Contribute
You can contribute to the project in many ways, e.g. testing functionality, sending in bug reports or creating pull requests directly via GitHub. Any help is always very welcome!
You can learn more about contributing on CONTRIBUTING.md.
License
OPNsense is and will always be available under the 2-Clause BSD license:

Every contribution made to the project must be licensed under the same conditions in order to keep OPNsense truly free and accessible for everybody.
Makefile targets
The repository offers a couple of targets that either tie into tools.git build processes or are aimed at fast development.
make package
A package of the current state of the repository can be created using this target. It may require several packages to be installed. The target will try to assist in case of failure, e.g. when a missing file needs to be fetched from an external location.
Several OPTIONS exist to customise the package, e.g.:
- CORE_DEPENDS: a list of required dependencies for the package
- CORE_DEPENDS_ARCH: a list of special -required packages
- CORE_ORIGIN: sets a FreeBSD compatible package/ports origin
- CORE_COMMENT: a short description of the package
- CORE_MAINTAINER: email of the package maintainer
- CORE_WWW: web url of the package
- CORE_NAME: sets a package name
Options are passed in the following form:
# make package CORE_NAME=my_new_name
In general, options are either set to sane defaults or automatically detected at runtime.
make update
Update will pull the latest commits from the current branch from the upstream repository.
make upgrade
Upgrade will run the package build and replace the currently installed package in the system.
make collect
Fetch changes from the running system for all known files.
make lint
Run several syntax checks on the repository. This is recommended before issuing a pull request on GitHub.
make style
Run the PSR12 and PEP8 style checks on MVC PHP code and Python,
respectively.
For php code you will need to have phpcs and phpcbf installed.
You can use the package php-codesniffer on Debian/Ubuntu.
Python code will require pycodestyle.
For easier development you may want to use an OPNsense VM and install
the os-debug plugin that will offer the necessary tools.
make sweep
Run Linux Kernel cleanfile whitespace sanitiser on all files.
