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

Oh #FreeBSD 15 su un non vecchissimo HP laptop...con un upgrade di ram si potrebbe considerare una macchina pregevolissima...

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

It works ❤️ FreeBSD running in a Github action.See https://github.com/0x1eef/hardenedbsd-vm/actions/runs/20127365341/job/57760097378This is just the start, but a big milestone.<snip>Attempt 36/100Attempt 37/100<snip>dial tcp 192.168.122.12:22: connect: connection refused (8/100dial tcp 192.168.122.12:22: connect: connection refused (9/100)SSH session establisheduname -aFreeBSD hardenedbsd 15.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE releng/15.0-n280995-7aedc8de6446 GENERIC amd64#freeBSD #hardenedBSD #github

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

@radhitya @stefano there's a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcaylXGt2j8 on the BSD Cafe setup and various articles on their website at https://it-notes.dragas.net/ which I've found helpful for hints on some aspects of this.

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.

The BastilleBSD team has been busy working on more improvements for you!1) We've got a PR pending (PR 1325) for a new `monitor` subcommand. This will monitor jailed services and restart as needed.2) We've got a PR pending with massive updates to the man pages.We'd appreciate any feedback you have on the pending PRs.#FreeBSD #BastilleBSD #Community #OpenSource
