pfSense » pfSense Packages

I converted some of the GUI parts to Bootstrap, it seems broken in other ways, however. It requires CGI support for perl, which nginx lacks currently.
sqstat looks OK but will not retrieve any data.

Assigning to cmb since he's the nginx guru. Looks like we may need to setup a fastcgi wrapper of sorts, similar to what is mentioned here:

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/simplecgi/

Ideally it would be conditional and only activated when a package needs it (perhaps based on a tag in the package metadata). So far it appears only squid (cachemgr.cgi) and lightsquid (its own index.cgi, at least) would need it.

Back to me to find an alternate solution

I just pushed version 3 of the lightsquid pfSense package which runs on its own separate port using lighttpd and has a user/pass basic auth setup as well so it is not open to the world. It runs, I can view reports, etc. It's not as pretty as it could be, but it's functional.

I pushed a few fixes to the package and it's running OK now based on feedback from users and personal testing. New issues can be opened as separate tickets.
