ntopng 4.0 is in freshports - could this be updated in pfSense? (2.5.x)

trumee

Can this be back ported to 2.4.5?

cburbs

Anyone - is it possilbe to run 4.0 on 2.4.5

Andrew453

@cburbs Yes I am running 4.0 on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64). But please see the warnings elsewhere on this thread about it being completely unofficial and unsupported.

@Andrew453

Do you have any links on how to do this upgrade?

So I followed the post from above - https://parkercs.tech/upgrading-ntopng-on-pfsense-to-latest-version/

But the below is the packages I found after doing some digging and it did work.

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/All/ntopng-4.0.d20200615_1,1.txz

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/All/ndpi-3.2.d20200403_1,1.txz

When I installed it (v20200615 seems to be gone so I had to try v20200710) and try to run ntopng I get:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][pfsense]/root: ntopng
/usr/local/lib/libjson-c.so.5: version JSONC_0.14 required by /usr/local/bin/ntopng not defined

and I do have libjson-c installed:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][pfsense]/root: pkg info json-c
json-c-0.14
Name           : json-c
Version        : 0.14

Has anyone seen this issue?

@netnerdy You can go ahead and upgrade json-c

root@OPNsense:/usr/local/etc/rc.d # pkg install json-c

Worked for me

netnerdy

@tpz which version of json-c do you have installed? Can you post your output of

pkg info json-c

@netnerdy I had 0.14 then upgraded to 0.15:

Thanks! I install json-c from here: https://freebsd.pkgs.org/11/freebsd-amd64/json-c-0.15.txz.html and it worked.

Well 4.2 is out but not available for FreeBSD11

ntopng-4.0.d20200710,1.txz

I use this site to see what packages are available -
https://pkgs.org/

and did a search for ntop and clicked on FreeBSD11

https://pkgs.org/search/?q=ntop

@cburbs I was able to install ntopng 4.2 from www.freshports.org/net/ntopng using ntopng-4.2.d20201102,1.txz in the 'pkg add' statements above.
