    This is a cautionary tale that hit close to home. It's yet another entry in a long-running list of unfortunate souls who have lost years of precious memories to the corporate overlords the majority of us trust with our invaluable data. THIS story just happened to be the one that scared me into taking action, and beginning the process of building my own #NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution.https://linuxforeveryone.net/journey-down-the-nas-rabbit-hole-a-scary-prologue/(Follow Linux For Everyone on the Fediverse @WelcomeHome for more)

    I’m so stucked… Black Friday reactivated the “store everything on a NAS” project in my poor brain. As the goal is quite simple : reduce to the minimum the use (and the costs) of our family iCloud plan, you would expect the solution is simple (of course not…). But should also be added to the equation the need to secure data already on external usb disks. (And aging). So, the quest for the right choice begins with a Nas appliance. Syno? No thanks, solid software, old hardware and discutable moves to lock everyone to use their parts catalog. So… considered ugreen Nas such as dxp2800 (two disks, not very upgradable so use huge capacity for a start). Dxp4800 four bays so it is possible to gradually extend the pool in the future. Then there is also MiniPC with nvme slots such as beelink Me Mini. In all cases, storage will be ZFS and data should be encrypted (don’t want thieves to read my data). Software will likely be truenas. A bare FreeBSD would be great but I have no time or skills to build everything from scratch with the insurance that I don’t leave some door opened for exploits. Either ugreen and N100 based pc should be enough for immich and one or two lightweight containers/jails. Costs are also to be considered, as RAM and disks (and NVME) are becoming very pricey. I read some blogs articles from our barista and of course it was so very interesting to build a backup server, remote access in a diy manner, (the geek in me was very tempted, but the end-user in me having to ensure the data from everybody in the house is secured is worried) #homelab #NAS

    We all love media – to some extent at least!Movies, TV Shows and all the moving pictures we can find and consume.So, since we all have movies etc. on our NAS/HDD/SSD/whatever we should be able to play and see everything we have on all our connected devices.But what can we do?Simple, we leverage Jellyfin to present our media to us.In this little howto we will set up Jellyfin in a Jail on FreeBSD.Let’s get right to it!Creating the JailJails can be created in different ways. In this howto however we will use Bastille – which is a excellent tool for creating Jails.This howto will not go into detail of how to set up Bastille. If you need to set up Bastille first, given you have not installed said tool, you can have a look at the quickstart guide:Bastille Quickstart GuideRight, let’s create the Jail first.$ sudo bastille create media 14.3-RELEASE 10.0.23.77/24 vtnet0You of course need to change the IP address and network interface (vtnet0 is probably not what you want!). Also, one can of course change the name of the Jail – I’ve chosen media since that describes the use case well of said Jail.After that our Jail is ready!Jellyfin needs mlock to be enabled to work properly.$ sudo bastille config media set allow.mlock 1But wait a second… How do I access all my media files?There is no access in the Jail to any directory on the host holding all my videos!Right, that is the case indeed!So, what can we do?Simple, we just mount our media directory in the Jail with nullfs!$ sudo bastille mount "media" /home/x/videos/ /videos nullfs ro 0 0This line mount /home/x/videos/ in the Jail under /videos. Also, I mount the directory as readonly – which you can change by sepcifying rw on the command above. Be sure to also select the correct Jail – in my case media.Jail fun with JellyfinWe can now finally enter the jail to further go along with the howto.$ sudo bastille console mediaLet’s first install Jellyfin which is directly accessible from the official package repository.$ pkg$ pkg update -f$ pkg install -y jellyfinThe first command pkg bootstraps the pkg package manager. The second command refreshes the package cache and the last command installs Jellyfin itself.Right, so far so good.But we also need to configure Jellfin (Service) to always start. And, last but not least, we need to start Jellyfin – since it is not running after the installation finished.$ sysrc jellyfin_enable="YES"$ service jellyfin startWe did all that, alright… But how do we know Jellyfin is running?Let’s have a look at the ps and sockstat output.root@media:~ # sockstat -l4USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS jellyfin jellyfin 10700 478 udp4 10.0.23.77:7359 *:*jellyfin jellyfin 10700 503 tcp4 10.0.23.77:8096 *:*root@media:~ # ps ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND10662 - SsJ 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/syslogd -ss10699 - IsJ 0:00.00 daemon: /usr/local/jellyfin/jellyfin[10700] (daemon)10700 - IJ 0:03.81 /usr/local/jellyfin/jellyfin --datadir /var/db/jellyfin --cachedir /var/cache/jellyfin10706 - SsJ 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/cron -J 60 -s10804 1 IJ 0:00.00 login [pam] (login)10805 1 SJ 0:00.01 -sh (sh)10842 1 R+J 0:00.00 ps axAh yes, Jellyfin is running and listening on port 8096 – which is the designated port for Jellyfin!Jellyfin all the way!Since we established that Jellyfin is running and listening, let’s open our webbrowser of choice and navigate over to the install wizard.$ firefox http://10.0.23.77:8096We are greated with the intital Jellyfin wizard.I will not go into detail on how to set up the wizard. But don’t worry, there is a excellent guide over on the official Jellyfin website.The guide can be found here: Jellyfin Setup Wizard guideBe sure to add your nullfs mounted directory in your library to be able to play said videos and shows.That is all there is to it.Simple, easy and clean. Everything is done in a Jail and isolated. Also, mounting a media directory is easy and straightforward via bastille mount.Final wordsThis little howto just shows how versatile jails are. One can of course tweak the setup further and for example add a reverse proxy (like Nginx) to the mix.The sky is the limit – Tools like bastille are very powerful and flexible!Enjoy!…and as always:Stay Open!

    Giunge a conclusione l'indagine in Liguria per reati ambientali e traffico internazionale di rifiutiI #carabinieri del nucleo #Forestale di Borghetto Vara (La Spezia) dopo la segnalazione all'autorità giudiziaria di 27 persone per dieci diverse tipologie di reati ambientali legati al traffico illecito di rifiuti destinati anche alla Nigeria ((leggi qui https://poliversity.it/@Coop_internazionale_di_Polizia/115061133874493947)), hanno eseguito su richiesta della Procura la perquisizione dell'abitazione di uno degli indagati e di due aree nei Comuni di Sarzana e Castelnuovo Magra utilizzate per la demolizione illecita di veicoli, lo stoccaggio dei relativi componenti e il deposito di altri rifiuti.Sono stati posti sotto sequestro circa 60 autovetture fuori uso, quattro autocarri e rifiuti depositati in modo incontrollato. L'esecuzione dei provvedimenti di perquisizione e sequestro aveva già permesso di acquisire elementi che avevano confermato la gestione illecita dei rifiuti con la corresponsabilità di alcuni cittadini residenti in Nigeria, nazione di destinazione dei rifiuti.La Dda (Direzione Distrettuale Antimafia) di Genova ha assunto la direzione delle indagini relativamente all'ipotesi di reato principale di attività organizzate per il traffico illecito di rifiuti e ha richiesto cinque misure cautelari nei confronti di altrettante persone, quattro cittadini stranieri e uno italiano. Il gip (Giudice delle Indagini Preliminari) ha accolto la richiesta ed emesso le misure cautelari.I carabinieri hanno eseguito l'analisi dei dispositivi mobili posti sotto sequestro nel mese di febbraio scorso, che ha svelato un illecito sistema di fatturazione operato tra giugno 2020 sino ad almeno il marzo 2023 e per questo sono state denunciate 11 persone in concorso per dichiarazione fraudolenta mediante l'emissione di fatture per operazioni inesistenti inesistenti e e segnalate potenziali attività dità di riciclaggio.Nei giorni scorsi è stato stato emesso e notificato dai carabinieri l'avviso di conclusione delle indagini preliminari nei confronti dei quattordici indagati per attività organizzate per il traffico illecito di rifiuti di cui cinque già destinatari di misure cautelari. All'indagato cardine del procedimento sono attribuiti 27 capi di imputazione tra i quali attività organizzata per il traffico illecito, la gestione illecita di rifiuti, la combustione illecita di rifiuti e l'attività di demolizione non autorizzata. #reatiambientali#trafficointernazionaledirifiuti@liguria
