Not sure if this is useful to anyone but these are the changes I needed to make to allow OPNsense to properly manage the gateway service. YMMV. |
Replace nocheck flag with proper PID file configuration to enable OPNsense service status monitoring. The service now correctly tracks the gateway process state via PID file. Changes: - Remove 'nocheck' flag from service definition - Add dynamic PID file path reading from user configuration - Set default PID file location to /var/run/defguard_gateway.pid - Add default value to PidFile model field for consistency - Update form to display default PID file location hint - Simplify config.toml template to always output pidfile with default The PID file location can now be customized by users through the UI, or will default to /var/run/defguard_gateway.pid. This ensures OPNsense can properly monitor and report the gateway service status.
