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 …

Leave a Comment / DELL, nginx, R720 / By Dan Langille / July 17, 2021 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 / FreeBSD, nginx, Open Source / By Dan Langille / November 15, 2020 November 15, 2020

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 …

Adding IPv6 to an Nginx website on FreeBSD / FreshPorts

Leave a Comment / DNS, FreeBSD, iocage, nginx, nsupdate, pf, poudriere / By Dan Langille / January 13, 2018 July 31, 2019

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.

Running PHP on Nginx

Leave a Comment / nginx, Open Source / By Dan Langille / September 11, 2017 December 1, 2019

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: …
