Help needed to create a repo from a .pkg file? #129

Closed gspannu closed 5 months ago

Hi @Monviech,

First of all, thanks for creating this plugin - a life saver for OPNsense users !

Need some assistance in creating a repo from a plugin package.

I have created a OPNsense plugin for BlockyDNS. I have it working fully within OPNsense and all works as expected.

I created this .pkg file by running make package within the plugin folder of my FreeBSD development machine. Essentially created the src folder, Makefile, pkg-descr in /usr/plugins/devel/blocky folder. Then I run make package from the blocky folder... and after successful execution, it creates work/pkg subfolder with the newly created os-xxxx.pkg file.

I can copy the os-xxxx.pkg file into OPNsense, execute pkg add os-xxxx.pkg and I can get BlockyDNS working as expected. in OPNsense, GUI and all, etc...

However, I would like to convert this os-xxxx.pkg file to a repo that I can host online - how do I go about creating a repo from an existing .pkg file?

Essentially make this work similar to your os-caddy... by fetching a conf file, running pkg update and then being able to install it from Plugins GUI within OPNsense.

fetch -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/os-blocky-plugin.conf https://os-blocky-plugin.xxxxxx.com/repo-config/os-blocky-plugin.conf pkg update Afterwards install os-blocky from the Plugins in the OPNsense GUI.

Can you provide some help/ layman style instructions as to how to build this ? Many thanks...

I saw that you posted in the OPNsense Forum and I answered there a while ago. Lets continue this in the forum since this issue looks unrelated to this plugin.
