Multi-Instance Management¶
pfSense® Plus software versions 24.11 and later include a Multi-Instance Management (MIM) controller capable of managing multiple installations of pfSense Plus software from a single host. The multi-instance management controller includes a web-based graphical user interface (MIM GUI) and an API.
Using the MIM GUI, administrators can:
See quick at-a-glance status of local and remote pfSense Plus software installations.
Configure the local pfSense Plus software installation using a new single page application interface.
Configure multiple remote pfSense Plus software installations paired with the controller using a new single page application interface.
Open remote interactive consoles similar to an SSH connection.
Warning
The multi-instance management controller in this version of pfSense Plus software is an early look at the functionality.
This early look is limited in several significant ways:
The controller must run on an installation of pfSense Plus software.
The controller is limited to managing three (3) instances of pfSense Plus Software in addition to the controller system itself.
Controller functionality is limited to a small subset of features and configuration areas.
