      Hello,

      is there any way to upgrade from a NanoBSD installation to a full installation?
      Are there any things that I need to consider? (except https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Upgrade_Guide#NanoBSD)

      Best Regards
      Patrick

        At the moment we do not have a way to upgrade in-place from NanoBSD to a full installation. It's something we're looking at for the future since NanoBSD is going away eventually but we don't have a solid upgrade path figured out yet.

          Thanks for your reply.
          I interpret your answer, that it will be the best to look what the future will bring.

            You can back up your config, install a full install, and restore your config.

            You just can't upgrade in place.
