This post will be short on detail. I’m writing it for myself, to document what I’m doing. I suspect Migrating data02/freshports/dev-ingress01 to another zpool will be more useful to you. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 I stopped the jail: [15:30 r730-01 dvl ~] % sudo service jail stop dev-nginx01 Stopping jails: dev-nginx01. I took dev.freshports.org offline via: The source Now, you might look at that, and wonder why the filesystems are offline. This […]

Cleaning up snapshots

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

Now that I’ve copied two filesets from one zpool to another, let’s delete old snapshots. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 Freeing up space I’m still hesitant to delete original data, but I’ll delete the snapshots.

Migrating ZFS filesystems from one zpool to another – same host

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

Not so long ago, a disk space issue arose. I obtained some new drives (thank you to those who donated) and I consolidated some of the space. However, I had not yet taken care of the problem. For my first example, I’ll copy my vm data over. In my next post, I’ll copy dev.freshports.org to a new dataset. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 What happened? Yesterday, the chickens came home to roost.

My solution for copying backups around the homelab

Leave a Comment / PostgreSQL, ssh / By /

I have database servers outside the homelab, as in not in my basement. They are in datacenters. I don’t let them push the backups into the basement. Instead, I let them call home asking for the backups to be picked up. I prefer it that way. As I describe it, it may seem complex to do multiple steps when one step will do. However, this solution promises that the backups are ready and

Hacking openvpn to use syslog with something other than facility = daemon

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

I don’t see a way to specify the syslog facility for OpenVPN – perhaps I can change that in the code. It would allow logging openvpn to a specific file and being able to rotate that log file. –log-append does not allow for log rotation. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 OpenVPN 2.6.19 Signals sent to OpenVPN do not affect logging. Thus, I must rely upon syslog and newsyslog to achieve log rotation. At

In a recent blog post, I showed you how I was taking my websites into maintenance mode. Shortly afterwards, I wrote about how using $server_name can have odd consequences. Today, I’m writing about the script I just created which will create those maintenance.html files.
