maybe someone can help me out with the issue I am having with the ansible.builtin.service module: with most services (like nginx, postfix, postgres, ntp, samba etc.) it works as expected, however, I have experienced problems with opensearch, graylog (both java based), zrepl and gitea. All four...

I have an rc script to autostart some jails. My only problem is that I can't login to my system until all jails are started. I'm sure this answer is out there in the ether somewhere, but I can't seem to get the search criteria quite right, seeing as how there's lots of language about backgroudn...

I am attempting to create two /usr/local/etc/rc.d services, using rc.subr(8) after reviewing https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/rc-scripting/. Service B's process must always run as root, while service A's process must always run as another less privileged user (some_user). The other user must...

Hello, is there any way to prevent the system from printing to vt? It's quite annoying when I edit files in vi or ed and the system suddenly tells me that a USB device has disconnected, overwriting the interactive shell. The same goes for services like samba_service. Can anyone tell me how to...

Hi, I just recently started using FreeBSD after coming from linux. I'm trying to run my traffic through tor, using the instructions in this post. After installing tor using pkg ins tor I made the following changes: To /etc/rc.conf: tor_enable="YES" To /etc/sysctl.conf: # prevent traffic...

I have a service running on my server (in this case, audio/icecast) via rc scripts. I want the non-root user to be able to see that Icecast is running. As root, if I type: service icecast status it gives me this response: icecast is running as pid 74983. As non-root, if I try the same...

Port net-mgmt/netbox is a nice tool widely used for IPAM and DECIM maintenance, so I tried to use it for maintenance purposes at work. I never got past the setup, since the example shown in FreeBSD's wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/net-mgmt/netbox) only covers a setup as vhost, which...

It appears both these commands do exactly the same thing. Which one do you guys prefer to use?

Hi all, Can someone help me understand the reason why package names configured in rc.conf use an underscore while the service name uses a dash/hyphen? Examples: sysrc avahi_daemon_enable=YES sysrc emby_server_enable=YES but service avahi-daemon start service emby-server start I see the...

Hi, Am using dns/dnsmasq as a local service. On boot I see an error message stating that the service can not start because of a missing file, libnettle.so.6. Once the system logins in and service dnsmasq start is used the service begins. Also I get positive results for find /usr/ -name...

I started working with a great web server called caddy and started working on an rc.d script to get it running as a service. I put together a script that mostly worked seen here. The bug in this original script was that the service would start on boot/reboot, but it didn’t play well with the...

I followed the tutorial for practical rc.d scripting to enable caddy web server on my DO FreeBSD 10.2 droplet. It's very simple, which is probably why it's not quite working as expected. So let me start by posting my questions, then I'll show my code. The pre-commit check list says: 2.Does...
