Today I encountered this. [r720-01 dan ~] % sudo freebsd-update fetch install 14:39:01 Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors… 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 13.0-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org… done. Fetching metadata index… done. The update metadata is correctly signed, but failed an integrity check. Cowardly refusing to proceed any further. I confirmed it was just the […]
I bought a house. Yesterday was the settlement. I gave away some money, got a deed, and now I have a mortgage. Last night was an empty house party for a small group of friends and new neighbors. This morning I had a walk through the house with a finishing carpenter who is now retired. […]
It was May 2021 when I tweeted about monitoring FreeBSD jails which had jail IP addresses only in the 127.0.0.0/8 range. Yesterday, nearly 6 months later, I did the first test of this. This came up because I’m getting a new FreshPorts node ready. I’ve created a file in the jail to be run from […]
Sometimes I mess up. Then I have to clean up and redo. These help me do that. This deletes FullAutoNoNextPool-12954 to FullAutoNoNextPool-12958. This creates FullAutoNoNextPool-12954 to FullAutoNoNextPool-12958.
This is x8dtu (named after the SuperMicro motherboard). This is the old but new FreshPorts server, which currently running on AWS, not this host. The previous post for this is still available In short: FreeBSD 13.0 booting off a mirrored pair of zfsroot SSDs 4.5TB of mirrored ZFS 196612 MB of RAM (yeah, that’s 196GB […]
This started off as a Twitter thread earlier this morning. databases/mysql57-client has an optional dependency on security/cyrus-sasl2 which defaults to on. Let’s try turning that off and see if it also removes openldap-client from the dependency list. Why? I install net-mgmt/nagios-plugins in just above every jail and host. Even hosts which don’t use MySQL. I […]
Yes, this is blatant bragging. But realistically, this is more a function of my ISP (Verizon FiOS) and my electricity supplier (PECO) than my abilities. To be fair, it is more contingent upon no power failures than anything else. I do have a UPS, but that’s only good for about 10-20 minutes. For August 2021, […]
Last last night, after renaming some buildlists, which were actually setnames, for poudriere, I realized that files in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d also needed to be renamed. In this post: poudriere 3.3.7 nginx 1.20.1_2,2 Both running on FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 These are my renamed files: [dan@pkg01:/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d]: $ ls *primary* primary-make.conf primary-poudriere.conf primaryi386-make.conf primaryi386-poudriere.conf The output of svn status illustrates […]
I like readability. I like it in variable names. I prefer something descriptive and easy to ready. In in this post: FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 poudriere 3.3.7 I recently started getting messages like this from my daily poudiere build: I could just rename the sets, everything would be rebuilt, but then clients would be stuck pointing at […]
