Restore RRD and extra data from configuration backups when restoring during installation
Added by Viktor Gurov about 3 years ago.
Updated almost 3 years ago.
Plus Target Version:
22.01
Description
Currently bsdinstall script simply removes any extra data or RRD data from the config.xml:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel-12/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/copy_configxml_from_usb#L67:
# Remove rrddata/xmldata if it is present, see https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11050
REMOVE_DATA="rrddata captiveportaldata dhcpddata dhcpdv6data voucherdata sshdata"
for remdata in $REMOVE_DATA; do
sed -i '' -e "/<$remdata>/,/<\/$remdata>/ d" ${recovery_dir}/config.xml
done
it's better to keep this data, but add /cf/conf/config/bsdinstall_config_restore flag to run restore_backup() on boot

This can be activated unintentionally on upgrade the way it is now. It looks like the installer made /conf/installer_copied_config when it restored a config in the past, but that file was never removed when the system finished booting after installation. Because it wasn't removed, some systems may still have that file present even though they haven't been (re)installed in months or more. As a consequence, on upgrade this new code triggers and they get a notification about the restore. It should end up being a NOOP but the notification may still confuse users.
pfSense is restoring the configuration /tmp/config_to_restore.xml @ 2022-01-05 09:31:06
This should probably also look for some other indication that it's the first boot post install, such as the presence of {$g['conf_path']}/trigger_initial_wizard
