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

Is someone running a #deltachat #chatrelay on #freebsd ? I am thinking to give it a try with #bastilleBSD on a #BoxyBSD instance.

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

so Raptor gave me access to a Talos II to do some work on FreeBSD/ppc64le. first thing i noticed: the boot process is *very* unusual. it doesn't use the FreeBSD loader at all; instead it has a Linux-based firmware loader called Petitboot which can load and kexec() the FreeBSD kernel directly. however it needs a rather odd partition layout to do that:# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#/dev/nda0p2 / ufs rw 1 1/dev/nda0p1 /boot msdosfs rw 2 2i assume this is because Petitboot can't read FreeBSD UFS, so we need the kernel (which is in /boot/kernel) to be on FAT. Raptor suggested we should make the loader kexec()able instead, which seems like a good idea, but from what i can tell this platform doesn't use OpenFirmware at all, and i'm not even sure we have a PowerNV-native loader.(as you can tell, i know very little about either POWER or FreeBSD/powerpc, so this is going to be an interesting learning experience.)#FreeBSD

I wish all my #BSD people a happy weekend! 😎 #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd

Happy Friday #FreeBSD

Eh sì, sta lavorando via Wi-FiSono commosso :D

What is BSD? Come to a conference to find out! https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_is_bsd_come_to_a_conference_to_find_out.htmlAlso, the @bsdcan call for papers is on until January 17th 2026 https://www.bsdcan.org/2026/papers.html #bsd #bsdcan #openbsd #netbsd #freebsd #development #conference #freesoftware #libresoftware

@0x1eef nice work! this is a great step forward.

I really tried hard to make my Meteor Lake GPU work under #FreeBSD 15.No luck. Tried:1. drm-66-kmod2. drm-latest-kmodCompiled from:1. master2. 6.6-lts3. drm-v6.74. drm-v6.85. drm-v6.9Either garbage on screen or kernel panic. Or both 😖Any good souls with other ideas ?

Today I learned that uname.c on #FreeBSD is a light wrapper around sysctl nodes. For example, uname -r is equal to kern.osrelease.https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/usr.bin/uname/uname.c

@crc @radhitya thank you. I've also described many details during the presentation at EuroBSDCon

I'm using Bastille to run jails on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE.Does it matter (to Bastille) if I use templates, or can I just manually apply the setup from a template's Bastillefile?Bastillefile example:https://github.com/BastilleBSD/templates/blob/main/databases/mariadb-server/Bastillefile#freebsd #bastille #jails

It's Tuesday so you know what that means!Each week we're showcasing the many automated jail templates available in BastilleBSDThis week we're building with:Apache Kafka is a distributed event store and stream-processing platform developed by the Apache Software Foundation.Thank you to GitHub user aindros for this contribution.https://github.com/BastilleBSD/templates/tree/main/net/kafka#FreeBSD #BastilleBSD #Rocinante #Kafka #TemplateTuesday

Don’t forget to force upgrade all the installed packages as well!> bastille cmd TARGET pkg-static upgrade -f

How to Support FreeBSD on Your CloudA recent post from Colin Percival outlines practical steps and considerations that can help cloud providers deliver a smooth FreeBSD experience.Some of the areas highlighted include image publishing workflows, testing practices, and establishing communication channels that make it easier to surface issues and share updates.
