Converting pgeu-system schedule to HTML

I’ve been using pgeu-system for conference organization since 2000. Once feature I wish it had: export the schedule to HTML. The primary reason for that is to decouple the schedule from the software. That way, the schedules are available on the website when the software is not running. That is, instead of pulling the page from the database, you’re pulling the page from static HTML files. Such a feature is useful should you […]

poudriere: when renaming sets, also rename *-make.conf files etc

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 the changes I made: [dan@pkg01:/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d]: $ svn st D master-list-i386-make.conf > moved to primaryi386-make.conf D master-list-i386-poudriere.conf > moved

Accessing a Dell iDRAC 7 via Nginx reverse proxy

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 the ssh forwarding shown at the bottom of this post. NOTE: I should start monitoring that IP addr

Hosting multiple web servers behind a single IP address

Virtual hosts for a website are a thing. One webserver can host multiple websites. They can all be on the same IP address, different IP addresses, different ports, etc. This post is about using a proxy service. Before I started with this solution, at home I hosted every website on the same server. My firewall would redirect incoming ports 80 and 443 to my webserver, and Nginx/Apache would take care of the rest.

Configuring LibreNMS Nginx statistics

This post might help me in configuring net-snmp to deliver Nginx statistics to LibreNMS. As such, this post may not be as helpful to you as the official documentation. Key is this URL: http://127.0.0.1/nginx-status The nginx.conf file needs something like this: NOTE: the fastcgi_pass line might also be fastcgi_pass 10.80.0.92:9000 depending on what you find in /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf. You should see something like this in the script, which you might have copied from https://github.com/librenms/librenms-agent/blob/master/snmp/nginx

Adding IPv6 to an Nginx website on FreeBSD / FreshPorts

FreshPorts recently moved to an IPv6-capable server but until today, that capability has not been utilized. There were a number of things I had to configure, but this will not necessarily be an exhaustive list for you to follow. Some steps might be missing, and it might not apply to your situation. All of this took about 3 hours. We are using: FreeBSD 11.1 Bind 9.9.11 nginx 1.12.2 The server configuration This is

Running PHP on Nginx

I’ve been running Apache since 1998. Nginx didn’t exist then. FreshPorts runs on Apache mostly because that’s what I was using. There was no selection process. I use Nginx in a few locations, but I’ve never run FreshPorts on it. I am configuring a new server (x8dtu) for FreshPorts. So far, I have two jails: nginx01 pg01 My next task: get PHP running on nginx01. Name confusion While I was researching, I became
