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.

Save-OPNSenseConfigurationDocument

Function index | Repository readme | Source

Writes an OPNsense configuration document to disk.

Description

The document is written through a "System.Xml.XmlWriter" that is configured to emit indented content using unix line endings and the UTF-8 encoding without a byte order mark, which matches what the appliance itself writes.

Parameters

Name Type Required Aliases Description
XmlDocument Xml.XmlDocument Yes XD, Document The configuration document to write.
Path IO.FileInfo Yes P A valid file path. Any missing parent directory will be created.
IndentCharacters String No IC The characters that are used for a single level of indentation.
ContinueOnError Switch No COE Ignore failures.

Examples

Example 1

$SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentParameters = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary'
  $SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentParameters.XmlDocument = $ConfigurationDocument
  $SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentParameters.Path = "$($ContentDirectory.FullName)\Configurations\config.xml"
  $SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentParameters.Verbose = $True
$SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentResult = Save-OPNSenseConfigurationDocument @SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentParameters

Write-Output -InputObject ($SaveOPNSenseConfigurationDocumentResult.FullName)

Notes

A byte order mark causes the appliance to reject the document during import, so the encoding is explicitly created without one.
