Error updating repositories!

Before calling it a day, yesterday, I saw some posts signalling that the "repository " was out of order.
Probably some product name changes or big updates or ahead.
At least, in the "2.5.0" tree.
Btw : me just thinking here. The 2.4.5-p1 tree seems fine.

Is any other way to install bpytop manually ?

Gertjan · Feb 11, 2021, 3:13 PM

@sergei_shablovsky Is that a package in the 'github' pfSense repository ?
Here https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports ?

Installing manually packages on a must-always-be-connected-to-the-net-router is ...... awkward.

From higher levels (Netgate), very recently - on this forum - the advise was : don't.

You are using 2.5.0. : isn't it time to go vanilla ? Or prepare yourself for a re install. (not the moment to try try things out .....)

Btw : its doesn't exist for 2.4.5-p1 :

ahh @Sergei_Shablovsky, you need to be more creative !

pkg add https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/py37-psutil-5.8.0.txz
pkg add https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/bpytop-1.0.61.txz

open a ticket and ask jimp to add it if you like bpy that much, i don't think he will bite you.. maybe ...

You said it yourself : we entered an exceptional moment.

edit : oops : this is the son of a b****** bug, with 5 years of history.

I still thinking that bpytop are so informative and flexible comparing to native pfSense top/pftop, so may be jimp would be agree to include it as standard tool for on-screen Monitoring....

P.S. The same for Gping/vping, but on 3 month ago they are not available for FreeBSD. Sad but true...

You could 'diff' between the original files, and your files, and have this diff merged automatically during startup or even update (I use the 'Patches' package from pfSense).

Could You be so please explain on an example (for /etc/rc.initial) how to make this according this topic.

To save my time a little bit. ;) Anyway, a little bit later I try to study how to using the Patches. I found that official pfSense doc from NetGate have no such info and examples...

I would be thankful for Yoyr time and efforts about helping people’s here on forum! Thank You again one time!

But what if Netgate decided to fundamentally change the /etc/rc.initial file in the next version ? The merge won't work out. Your back to manual again.

As I able to see, nothing much changed (just nothing) in last 3 year.

Anyway, I make all system updates in manual mode, to look precisely on each changes.

edit : the main security issue is that the centralized Munin client - the site where I host all the charts of all my devices, connects every 5 minutes to a TCP port 4949 of my pfSense.
A WAN firewall rule accepts incoming TCP 4949 connections from one IP only : the IP from my munin client.

Let’s to note, better not to exposing ports to outside, and SSH keys are so easy to brute force nowadays on powerful i7/i9 or NVidia cards.
As minimal, using OpenVPN / WireGuard + port knock + limit to x connection in y time.

Any one has recipe for pfsense 2.7.2-RELEASE?

So, my 512 byte size 'SSH key' is less better as my 512 size byte 'OpenVPN' key ?
Ok, I agree, never expose an SSH (with the default initial user (probably root) and password) to the outside.
That's why SSH+certificate was invented, right ?
I do use fail2ban = your "play 3 times and then your banned for the week" of course.

Never even thought I had to use SSH+cert over OpenVPN (like a secured connection into a tunneled secured connection) ..... but I give it one

@Gertjan recipe for btop :)

Gertjan · Jan 22, 2025, 3:13 PM

@s3b0

[24.11-RELEASE][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: pkg install btop
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up to date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pfSense repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'btop' have been found in the repositories

So btop not available.

If you want to have access main stream packages, install a main stream OS like this one. Or take this one.
pfSense is based upon FreeBSD, like your drone is based upon Linux. Each of these devices uses their own related repositories, and do not allow you to install 'other' non-related packages. Just the strictly needed. This to enforce the security of the device.
Or do you really have your drone flying around with X-Windows or MySQL server installed ?

( see pfSense Documentation : you can override this, and switch to the FreeBSD public repository. Do this only when you are ware of the risks.

Btw : htop exists.

s3b0 · Jan 22, 2025, 4:18 PM

@Gertjan i know htop exist but it lacks some features. I understand security reasons and i appreciate them, but having btop would be nice :)
