I have some jails already updated to FreeBSD 14 – let’s get a list of what needs to be updated. This cold just as easily be used to get a list of what not to upgrade, if you didn’t want to update all jails right now. These jails are already updated: [15:30 r730-01 dvl ~] […]

This post has been replaced by a newer post. For reference, the previous post on this server is still available. Today, the host was updated to FreeBSD 14.0, from FreeBSD 13.2. This is my primary developer server in my basement. gpart zpool list zpool status zfs list dmesg sesutil show jls
In recent blog post, I outlined a problem I hit with pg_dump. Specifically, pg_dump was picking up and using ~/.pgpass with pg_dump from PostgreSQL 12-14, but with PostgreSQL 15-16, it was failing. In this blog post: FreeBSD 13.2 PostgreSQL server 12 / 16 PostgreSQL client 12-16 Bacula 9.6.7 Today we figured out why: $HOME. $HOME

Lately, I’ve been preparing to move from PostgreSQL 12 to PostgreSQL 16 – my main developement database server at home needs to get updated. The goal: migrate each database from the old host (running PostgreSQL 12) to the new host (running PostgreSQL 16) using pg_dump and pg_restore. Today, I decided to migrate the Bacula database.
FYI, this problem has been solved and described in I figured out why pg_dump was failing with PostgreSQL 15-16. This morning I encountered this error message: In this post: FreeBSD 13.2 PostgreSQL 12.16 (server – pg02) PostgreSQL 16.1 (client – dbclone) See also While restoring my PostgreSQL database to a new FreeBSD server, I discovered

This is a rewrite of Jails with embedded, but not jailed, ZFS datasets – how to mount/umount. First, this is not about jailed ZFS datasets. I use them for FreshPorts, but that’s not I’m going to talk about here. In this post: FreeBSD 13.2 This is my example: [22:25 r730-03 dvl ~] % zfs list

FYI: This server has since gone to a new home. After powering off the server about 8 months ago, I took the first steps to selling it. I opened it up and took out 2x NVMe sticks (1TB each, ZFS mirrored, giving a 930G zpool) INTEL fiber NIC (Intel X540-AT2) I’ll be keeping those items.

I recently moved a Time Capsule instance from a FreeBSD host into a jail. Today, I’m going to create a new Time Capsule which uses Samba instead of AFP. Why? Samba seems to be the preferred solution because AFP has been deprecated. It still works, but let’s go Samba. Not covered in this post, but

This approach did not work, because I used the wrong set of filesystems. See below for Error. This post has been replaced by Jails with embedded, but not jailed, ZFS datasets – how to mount/umount – corrected. NOTE: on yesterday’s (2023-10-04) reboot, the file systems did not properly mount. zfs get mounted said they were

This post has been replaced by a newer one. For reference, the previous post on this server is still available. Today I noticed this post is out of date. I like to keep this information around for each host, just in case it’s needed during a rescue mission. This is my primary developer server in
