@zolaris I used to prototype this in Go (using the great bubbletea library) but later decided for a rewrite in pure C and NetBSDs native curese library. I try to keep dependencies as low as possible for seamless integration with the build.sh system. Actually the "cellui" curses interface shown in this screenshot uses "cellmgr" as it backend. cellmgr is a hybrid of a end user cli with a stable machine runtime interface, completely written in sh. So we have a scriptable middleware layer. Took some iterations to get this right, and still some rough edges I will address.

Running a massive fleet of 26 API-Servers, served by a Nginx gateway as ingress. This time with midnight commander theme ;-)

Further working on a modern out of the box experience of "Cells for NetBSD". Stay tuned 🙂

#netbsd #cells

For example....

What about a nice Midnight Commander-style TUI to manage cells interactively? 🤔

Quick follow-up on the naming discussion around my NetBSD project (currently “Jails for NetBSD”):

I’m planning to close the poll tonight at midnight (2026-03-07 EST). That should give me the rest of the weekend to refactor the codebase for the new name and then continue with stabilization, review and new features.

If you haven’t voted yet, please do 🙂 Your input is very helpful.

New checkpoint of the NetBSD jails prototype. Clean rebase on NetBSD 11 with no changes to existing upstream code except a bugfix. Also a new evaluation ISO based on NetBSD 11 RC1 (2026-03-05). Next experiments will explore non-user rlimits in the jail context and additional kauth gates (e.g. maxproc at fork).
