      Hi , is it possible to create ISO image from current pfSense plus installation to non netgate hardware. Lets say for example, I should install all time first pfSesne CE than make upgrade to pfSense plus. The question is to make from current plus installation USB boot image and in case of reinstallation proceed directly with pfSense plus?

      NIC: Intel i-226v 4 pcs
      RAM : 16 GB DDR5

        @Antibiotic see https://www.netgate.com/blog/public-beta-of-new-installer-for-pfsense-software

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            @Antibiotic I do not know how well it works. We do not have any CE-upgraded-to-Plus. Before this the only way was to install CE and upgrade to Plus again.

              @SteveITSRemark:
              The Netgate Installer is compatible with Netgate appliances, AMD64-based virtual machines (VMs), and most other AMD64 platforms supported by FreeBSD. However, the Netgate installer will only support Netgate appliances during the public beta.

              So, after public beta will close, this is will not available?

                @Antibiotic Ah, I missed that. I would read it the other way, that during the beta it is only available for Netgate hardware, and after the beta it is available to all.

                    @Antibiotic I think that is correct.

                        Hmm, I that's outdated the Net Installer image should be able to install Plus to anything with an eligible NDI.
