Azure Backup/Snapshot support

Good Morning @dmauser

Currently there is a problem with the Azure Backup which does not work.
Specifically, Microsoft does not yet support FreeBSD.

The problem can be solved in the meantime by installing Bash.

Information from Microsoft Support:
I have received feedback from our Product Team and we will soon be announcing “preview for FreeBSD Support”.
In order to get the backup working we should install bash shell in the VM, please try and deploy a new backup to confirm if that was successful.

Steps to install bash-
pkg update
pkg upgrade
pkg install bash

Of course, it would be great if Azure Backup support is available after installation without manual intervention by the end user of OPNsense on Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

Thanks for the feedback. I can incorporate those steps inside the automation configuration script.
I will work on it and let you know when I have an update.

I see installation will take very long by incorporating pkg update + pkg upgrade. It would add probably few more minutes to the installation process. On a new install when I jut run pkg install bash it gets version 5.0.11 installed. Adding only pkg install bash only would not increase the installation process. Therefore, I will add only pkg install bash to the installation process. Let me know if that is enough or you really need to have pkg update + pkg upgrade as well.

Closing. Assuming it was fixed after installing bash.
