Running StrongMan on existing StrongSwan setup #107

Closed lsadehaan closed 4 years ago

lsadehaan commented 5 years ago

We have an existing StrongSwan install configured through the ipsec.conf config file manually. I'm considering migrating to StrongMan to have a GUI interface, but I cannot have much downtime. Is it possible to run StrongMan on the same machine at the same time and move the configuration from the config file based setup to the StrongMan managed database in a safe manner? Any recommendation on how to make this migration?

Possibly, but strongMan requires the vici plugin. Since you currently use ipsec.conf (which uses the stroke plugin and starter) you might not have that loaded yet. So you'll probably have to restart the daemon anyway.
