Hello,

Has anyone tried running FortiGate VM or any other VM appliance from Fortinet on a Raspberry Pi?

How was your experience? And how did the setup perform?

Hi,

 

as far as I can tell, there is no ARM supported version for FortiGate VMs - so the answer should be not possible on RPI.

Hi, I already activated a Fortigate appliance on my Raspberry Pi 5. I used QEMU KVM and the following image : New deployment of FortiGate for KVM ARM64
FGT_ARM64_KVM-v7.4.9.M-build2829-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip (87.22 MB) and the following link to setup the image : https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=366860

Finally I setup a network bridge to allow the VM to get the ip address from the LAN
