gsadmin bc3dd6c535 feat: Add idempotent OPNsense virtual firewall deployment for Hyper-V
Deploys a fully preconfigured OPNsense appliance into a Hyper-V lab in a
single execution, re-running safely because every stage detects the current
state before it acts.

Main script:
- Hyper-V platform detection and installation, exiting 3010 only when the
  hypervisor itself needs a restart
- Random /20 block selection out of a private base network, divided into /24
  networks whose VLAN tag is the third octet of their own network address
- Zone based roles, with five server zones paired by index to five client
  zones, plus Management, Infrastructure, DMZ, Storage and Guest
- Generated OPNsense config.xml delivered on a FAT32 VHDX at conf/config.xml
- Generation 2 virtual machine with secure boot disabled and a LAN trunk
  carrying VLANs 1-4094
- Marker scoped teardown via RemoveExistingDeployment

Toolkit functions:
- Save-ToolkitModule, Install-HyperVPlatform, Test-PendingReboot
- Expand-CompressedFile, Get-OPNSenseInstallationMedia
- Get-HyperVStorageLocation, Get-HostUpstreamDNSConfiguration
- New-RandomPassword, New-OPNSensePasswordHash
- New-OPNSenseNetworkPlan, New-OPNSenseConfigurationDocument,
  Save-OPNSenseConfigurationDocument, New-OPNSenseConfigurationDisk
- Initialize-OPNSenseVirtualSwitch, New-OPNSenseVirtualMachine,
  Remove-OPNSenseDeployment

Configuration document covers interfaces, VLANs, Kea DHCPv4 scopes with PXE
options, Unbound, outbound NAT, six firewall aliases and an ordered rule set
that grants management full reach, allows the jump hosts over well known
management ports, forces name resolution to approved resolvers, and pairs the
client and server zones.

Bundles 7-Zip, because the tar.exe included with Windows cannot read a raw
bzip2 stream, and BCrypt.Net-Next for the appliance password hash.

Expand-CompressedFile

Function index | Repository readme | Source

Expands a compressed file or archive using the first available extraction provider.

Description

The extraction provider is selected based upon the archive format and the tooling that is available on the device.

  1. 7-Zip - "Toolkit\Tools<Architecture>\7z.exe" is preferred, followed by any copy of "7z.exe" or "7za.exe" that is available within the process path, followed by the installed copy within the program files directory. This provider handles every supported format, including a raw bzip2 stream such as an OPNsense disc image.
  2. BSDTar - "tar.exe" is included with the operating system, but it can only read genuine tar archives. It is the only provider that natively supports the removal of leading path components.
  3. .NET - The "System.IO.Compression" namespace is used for zip archives and raw gzip streams.

Extraction always occurs within a staging directory so that the leading path component removal and the inclusion filter can be applied before anything is placed into the destination directory.

Parameters

Name Type Required Aliases Description
Path IO.FileInfo Yes P A valid file path to the compressed file or archive that will be expanded.
Destination IO.DirectoryInfo Yes D A valid folder path. If the folder does not exist, it will be created.
StripComponents Int32 No SC The number of leading path components to remove from each extracted item. This is the equivalent of the tar "--strip-components" argument and allows a single nested item, such as a disc image, to be placed directly within the destination directory.
IncludeFilter String[] No IF One or more wildcard expressions. Only the extracted items whose name matches one of the expressions will be placed into the destination directory.
Force Switch No F Overwrite any item that already exists within the destination directory.
ContinueOnError Switch No COE Ignore failures.

Examples

Example 1

$ExpandCompressedFileParameters = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary'
  $ExpandCompressedFileParameters.Path = "$($ContentDirectory.FullName)\ISOs\OPNsense-26.1.6-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2"
  $ExpandCompressedFileParameters.Destination = "$($ContentDirectory.FullName)\ISOs"
  $ExpandCompressedFileParameters.StripComponents = 1
  $ExpandCompressedFileParameters.IncludeFilter = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Collections.Generic.List[System.String]'
    $ExpandCompressedFileParameters.IncludeFilter.Add('*.iso')
  $ExpandCompressedFileParameters.Verbose = $True
$ExpandCompressedFileResult = Expand-CompressedFile @ExpandCompressedFileParameters

Write-Output -InputObject ($ExpandCompressedFileResult.ItemList)

Notes

The copy of "tar.exe" that is included with the operating system cannot read a raw, non-tar bzip2 stream. It fails with "Unrecognized archive format", which is the reason that 7-Zip is bundled within the toolkit.
