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 […]

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. [pkg01 dan ~] % sudo poudriere testport -j 131amd64 -p dvl -z primary

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.

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

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

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,

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

This post is based on a tweet and was created after a followup incident occurred today. The post was created to consolidate the information into a blog post so I could easily find it later. Details about this host (disks, zpool, gpart, etc) are in this post. On March 15 2022, I noticed these messages
