    Running FreeBSD 15 VM-Image on Proxmox? You might have noticed your cloud-init static IPs are being ignored. 😓The issue: Proxmox generates legacy cloud-init "v1" configs, but FreeBSD's new nuageinit tool only understands the modern "v2" format. The result is a silent fallback to DHCP (or no IP at all..).I wrote a shell script to bridge the gap. It runs on the host and generates a custom ISO with the v2 syntax FreeBSD actually expects.Read the full breakdown and grab the script: https://blog.hofstede.it/freebsd-15-cloud-init-on-proxmox-working-around-nuageinits-network-config-gap/#FreeBSD #Proxmox #SysAdmin #CloudInit #Virtualization

    Goodbye Linux & Podman, hello FreeBSD & Jails! Just migrated my blog (https://blog.hofstede.it) to a fully native BSD stack (where my Gemini Capsule was already living).Stack (using Bastille VNET Jails):- Caddy (Ingress, TLS, Reverse-Proxy)- Nginx Jail (Internal. Static file serving)- PFThe Cool Part: A Zero-Trust CI/CD pipeline. My Forgejo runner deploys via restricted rrsync into an air-gapped "transporter" jail, which nullfs mounts the web root. Security: Source-IP restricted, no interactive shells, no PTY.The simplicity of files-on-disk beats container abstraction every time.#BastilleBSD #SelfHosted #SysAdmin #IPv6 #ZFS #FreeBSD #RunBSD

    Under the hood update!I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.#FediMeteo #SysAdmin #Python #FreeBSD #Coding #SelfHosted #OwnYourData #StayTuned

    Hot take: pf's built-in connection tracking beats fail2ban/sshguard hands down.One simple ruleset gives you automatic brute-force protection with ZERO userland daemons. No log parsing, no reaction delays, no additional attack surface.table <bruteforce> persistpass in proto tcp to port 22 flags S/SA (max-src-conn 5, max-src-conn-rate 3/30, overload <bruteforce> flush global)Kernel-level enforcement, instant blocking, survives reboots with persist.Why spawn Python processes when your firewall already knows?#bsd #freebsd #runbsd #firewall #pf #sysadmin
