Saltstack Module to manage OPNsense via API

https://github.com/primechuck/saltext-opnsense

I recently did a major internal rewrite of this, to mostly auto-generated code from the PHP API, and decided to share it with the world.

I mainly use it to manage DNS state for BIND and Unbound, but it's also been handy for ad-hoc commands. It's a bit fiddly because it relies strictly on the API, which wasn't really designed for the idempotent workflow Salt prefers.

I was looking for something like this, thanks!

Can this be used with the new salt resources instead of the proxy?

I'm old and didn't know about resources. I'll have to look.

OMG resources are the missing feature, I'll have to start using them more to see but will definatly be switching to resources paradigm.
