Getting Victoria Logs running on FreeBSD

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Open Source / By /

This post is only about getting Victoria Logs running on FreeBSD. A future post will go over configuration and getting logs in. I’m hoping Victoria Logs can fill the role which ElasticSearch once tried to fill, but failed; it was too finicky and fragile for my use. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 victoria-logs-1.50.0_2 mkjail-0.0.8 Jail creation I’m going to run this in a jail, like most things. You don’t have to. I’m using […]

Today, about a nearly two weeks after making some config changes for some Let’s Encrypt certs, today I saw new-to-me messages: In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 acme.sh-3.1.3_1 Looking up that URL, I found: Let’s see: root@certs:/var/db/acme/certs # host acme-v02.api.acmeencrypt.org Host acme-v02.api.acmeencrypt.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) root@certs:/var/db/acme/certs # Oh. I posted on Mastodon before proceeding. First things first. Priority matters. Then I went into /var/db/acme/certs/r720-02-pg01.example.org/r720-02-pg01.example.org.conf and made this change: In short, acmeencrypt became letsencrypt. I

Giving poudriere a jump start

Leave a Comment / poudriere / By /

From time to time, I build my ports for a different version of MySQL, or Python, or, as in tonights case, PHP. My usual build command is: [23:43 pkg01 dvl ~] % sudo poudriere bulk -j 150amd64 -p default -z primary -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/buildlists/primary In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 poudriere-3.4.8 For me to build against PHP85, I first created this file: [23:56 pkg01 dvl /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d] % cat 150amd64-default-php85-make.conf DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= php=85 With that file in

How changes to poudriere.conf affect the build time

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Open Source, poudriere / By /

NOTE: I was starting my 6th build when I realized the log links are not publicly accessible. Sorry about that: https://pkg02.int.unixathome.org/ should not resolve for you. I have a new server in the basement, known as r7425-01 – it’s beefy. It’s newer than the other hosts I have. Should I retire one of the older servers? First, let’s see if it’s faster. My primary use case: building packages via poudriere. In this post:

acme.sh – Let’s Encrypt: Renewing using Le_API=https://acme.zerossl.com/v2/DV90

For a few days now, the cronjob which runs acme.sh to renew my Let’s Encrypt certificates was tossing out errors for the same two certs. Today, I went looking in the logs. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 acme.sh-3.1.3_1 hostnames have been altered to obscure those actually in use – the real reason I do this is to trigger the security by obscurity zealots The cronjob My cronjob looks like this: The logs The

This is the Dell R7425 host known as r7425-01. At idle, despite holding 12 x 12TB HDD, this chassis is pulling about 300-350 watts. gpart zpool list zpool status zfs list dmesg sesutil show [22:28 r7425-01 dvl ~] % sudo sesutil show ses0: ; ID: 500056b345a433ff Desc Dev Model Ident Size/Status Drive Slot 0 da0 ATA HGST HUH721212AL 8CGSV9DG Unknown Drive Slot 1 da1 ATA HGST HUH721212AL 8CGSXG6G Unknown Drive Slot 2 da2

zfs – a helper script for labelling all those drives

Leave a Comment / General / By /

I now have a Dell R7425 with 12 x 12TB HDD in the basement. A raidz2 zpool would give me about 120TB – with a significant resilver time. I have also thought about a creating 6 x mirrors and striping across them. That would give me about 72TB – that’s still a lot. However I do it, I’m going to label the partitions with the drive slot and serial number. I’m going to

/usr/local/sbin/rrsync error: unsafe arg: / [”, ‘/usr/home/rsyncer/backups’]

On Monday morning, I had eight emails each notifying me of a failed rsync attempt. This is one of those messages: Well, that’s a new one to me. This post will eventually show you the solution, and if that’s what you need now, jump to the bottom. If you’re not in a rush, I’m sure the following reading will be funny and a cure for your insomnia. Wow, … that sounds like Michael

Increasing a bhyve vm disk

Leave a Comment / homeassistant / By /

This post is mostly notes for myself. There’s no real useful information here, apart from how to increase the disk space of your vm-bhyve instance. I’m just back from a short time away. I noticed my Home Assistant instance was running, but not responding. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 vm-bhyve-1.7.3 I stopped and started it: [17:41 r730-01 dvl ~] % sudo vm list NAME DATASTORE LOADER CPU MEMORY VNC AUTO STATE hass default
