error: cannot open ‘.git/FETCH_HEAD’: No space left on device

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

After moving the poudriere jail (pkg01) to the new host (r730-01), I noticed this message from Nagios: That “email found in . /var/mail/dan” message is significant. In general mail on my hosts/jails is not delivered locally. It all goes off-host. That’s why I have this Nagios check. When mail like that is found, it’s either a configuration error or something local has gone wrong. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 poudriere-3.3.7_1 NOTE: This is […]

Moving one jail from host to host

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

This is a quick post about the steps I’m using to move my jails from one host to another. This is bing done as I merge two hosts into one. I have not attempted to automate this, apart from the initial syncoid copying of data. This post is base roughly upon my Mastodon post from yesterday. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 sanoid-2.1.0 copying from slocum copying to r730-01 use of /etc/jail.conf.d/ Right, now,

Moving the poudriere jail from slocum to r730-01

NOTE: If you’re looking for a jail configuration for poudriere, please refer to Configuration for running poudriere in a jail on FreeBSD 14. I recently moved the pkg01 jail from one host to another. I’m having trouble getting it to build packages.

Why doesn’t sysutils/vm-bhyve start my hosts?

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

After booting, my vms are not started by sysutils/vm-bhyve. Why? Perhaps it’s because I did not set vm_list. Here is me starting them today up after booting the host yesterday. NOTE: I already have a not to myself to add VM monitoring to Nagios.

How to limit a jail

1 Comment / FreeBSD, FreshPorts, rctl / By /

After encountering a rare instance where processing a FreeBSD commit caused FreshPorts to run low on resources, I want to investigate how limiting a jail might help this situation. I searched for ‘jail limit’ – found sentencing guidelines. I searched for ‘jail limit freebsd’ and found a FreeBSD Forums referring me to rctl(8), which I recognize from my $DAYJOB. I’ve just rebooted my host to add this to /boot/loader.conf: Then I started referring

using syncoid to backup ZFS snapshots – home assistant

Leave a Comment / sanoid, snapshots, syncoid, ZFS / By /

Copies of data are good. Especially if on a different host. zfs snapshots combined with zfs send | zfs recv make replication of zfs file systems especially easy. I am already using sanoid to manage zfs snapshots. Now I’m going to use syncoid to transfer those snapshots to another host. Both sanoid and syncoid are provided by the sanoid package on FreeBSD. I’m sure any other packaging system does similar. In this post:

openvpn: error=CRL has expired

2 Comments / Open Source, OpenSSL, ssl-admin / By /

After the former FreshPorts server was retired, its OpenVPN credential were revoked. I maintain those certificates via ssl-admin. I uploaded the new CRL into the System | Certificate Manager | Certificate Revocation page in pfSense. Today, I was seeing strange errors in Nagios, and figured someone wasn’t connected to the VPN. Checking OpenVPN client logs, I found nothing. On the OpenVPN server, I found this message: Oct 23 22:14:23 openvpn 11134 203.0.113.144:20690 VERIFY

Upgrading an NVMe zpool from 222G to 1TB drives

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

The FreshPorts dev, test, and stage websites are hosted on a server in my basement. Each instance consists of two jails: an ingress node – for pulling in new commits (and other data) into the database. a webserver node – for displaying the web pages. The new drives: Sometimes the zpool gets too close to full. I tweeted about one incident on March 2021. I held hope that some spare SSDs might be
