    New blog post: Hosting a Static Blog on FreeBSD with Bastille JailsA deep dive into my self-hosting setup:- FreeBSD 15.0 with securelevel 2- Bastille jails for isolation (Caddy, Nginx, deployment gateway)- PF firewall with strict NAT/RDR rules- CI/CD via Forgejo Actions with rrsync-restricted deployments- nullfs mounts for zero-copy file sharing between jailsThe "transporter pattern" keeps the blog jail unexposed while enabling automated deploys. Jails remain the most elegant isolation mechanism around.https://blog.hofstede.it/hosting-a-static-blog-on-freebsd-with-bastille-jails-and-automated-deployment/#freebsd #bastillebsd #jails #blog #devops #cicd #forgejo

    @stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away. Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:> $SERVICE start/stop/restartInstead, we are left with:> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restartBut I digress.#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.

    Did you know FreeBSD Jails were introduced in the year 2000? Bastille builds upon this 25+ year legacy of rock-solid operating system virtualization. Respect the classics! #ThrowbackThursday #FreeBSD #Jails #TechHistory #BastilleBSD
