      So, ive gone ahead and installed ntopng from the website documents alongside pfSense as the pfSense package installer just never worked for me.

      Its installed and running smoothly, the only thing I am unsure of how to do is to autostart redis and ntopng on boot. Upon every boot I need to run

      service redis start
      service ntopng start

      Is there a way I can auto start these 2 services on boot?

      Thanks

        If you are on 22.01/2.6 and do not want to upgrade to 22.05/2.7, and can highly recommend installing NtopNG using my guide here instead:

        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/172084/a-guide-to-current-ntopng-on-pfsense-2-6-22-01/24

        That uses the NtopNG pfsense package wrapper to give you control and start/use NtopNG as intended.

        But I just upgraded to 22.05/2.7, and the pfsense NtopNG package there contains a very recent release from the 5.2 stable branch - which works beautifully and is very stable. So I recommend using that approach instead of going “manually installed”

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
