install-qemu-guest-agent.sh

If you are using pfSense in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), running this script from the pfSense command line will install the QEMU guest agent and set it to run on boot.

Enable QEMU Guest Agent in Proxmox VE

When creating your pfSense virtual machine (VM), set Options > QEMU Guest Agent to enabled when you create your VM.

If you enable the QEMU Guest Agent while the VM is running, you will need to reboot it.

Usage

1. Log into the pfSense command line as root
2. Run curl -LJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Weehooey/pfSense-scripts/main/install-qemu-guest-agent.sh
3. READ THE DOWNLOADED FILE! You should never blindly run scripts from the internet.
4. Make the file executable chmod +x install-qemu-guest-agent.sh
5. Run the installation script ./install-qemu-guest-agent.sh
6. You should now see the IP addresses for the interfaces on the VMs summary page (click the More button to see all of them)
