List installed packages in terminal

marciobacci

Hello
I am creating a lab with a PFSense VM and would like to start a VM with the suricata package already installed through a shell script at boot time.

I can install the package, but it is not listed in the web interface so that I can configure the service.

Is there any way to make the packages installed by the terminal appear in the web interface?

Could someone help me?

Which Suricata package are you installing via the shell script: the GUI package or the binary package?

The correct package to install is pfSense-pkg-suricata. That is the PHP GUI package. It will pull in, as its dependency, the Suricata binary package (suricata-7.0.6 as of the date of this post). Sound like perhaps you are installing only the binary portion of the package. Without the PHP GUI package, there will be nothing in the web interface to work with.

Hi bmeeks

I was installing only the suricata package with the command "pkg install suricata".

Now, with the command "pkg install pfsense-suricata-7.0.6" it worked. The package was listed in the WebGUI.

Thank you very much.
