Amazon EC2 AMI
-
I was able to get pfsense 2.0.2 (amd64) running in an EC2 instance. I'll try to export the AMI so that it is usable by the community, but I'll outline my steps so that if anyone wants to reproduce it they can (with customizations as they desire).
1. Boot pfsense in qemu with the iso mounted as a cdrom, a single virtual nic and an image file used as hda, install pfsense and setup dhcp on that primary interface. Convert image to raw format if not already done so.
2. load that image out to ec2 using command line tools.
3. start up one of the community provided freebsd AMI's and add a secondary EBS volume
4. dd the data from the image to the secondary EBS volume
5. mount the volume and make edits
6. change the /etc/fstab so that it boots to the secondary volume
7. reboot and it should come up. use the ec2-get-console-output command if you need to troubleshoot startup -
Yes! Please if you can make that public, it would be very helpful.
