Opnsense Collection for Ansible

The Ansible Collection for OPNsense provides a comprehensive set of Ansible content to automate the configuration and management of OPNsense instances. It offers a streamlined approach to deploy and maintain OPNsense firewalls and routing platforms in a scalable and consistent manner.

Using this collection

Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using this collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy command-line tool:

ansible-galaxy collection install puzzle.opnsense

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it with ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: puzzle.opnsense

Note that if you install the collection from Ansible Galaxy, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:

ansible-galaxy collection install puzzle.opnsense --upgrade

You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax to install version 0.1.0:

ansible-galaxy collection install puzzle.opnsense:==0.1.0

See Ansible using collections for more details.
