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 […]

Accessing a Dell iDRAC 7 via Nginx reverse proxy

Leave a Comment / DELL, nginx, R720 / By Dan Langille / July 17, 2021

HEADS UP: this is still under review. Until this notice is removed, I recommend not using this. I have a Dell R720 at an ISP. The iDRAC connection is filtered, by the ISP, and is accessible only from a small number of IP addresses. Sure, this talks about a web proxy. It works. So does

Leave a Comment / DNS, FreeBSD, iocage, nginx, nsupdate, pf, poudriere / By Dan Langille / January 13, 2018

Running PHP on Nginx

Leave a Comment / nginx, Open Source / By Dan Langille / September 11, 2017
