Real containers in the form of jails docker is just a bunch of abstraction layers over namespaces and a lot of wishful thinking.

OMG a typo! Many thanks for noticing. Just in case anyone else is using php-fpm it is set up with sysrc php_fpm_enable=YES service php_fpm start and this starts php-fpm. Confusing or what?

Now i see, pkg install phpXXX ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And it is service php_fpm start or service php-fpm start Note - vs _...

Just imagine , you can smell 100.000 times better then me. My Labrador dog knows it , an alien living in a different world. When i have a bit of stress, a few meters away.... And now , 'first contact'.

I want to understand difference. I tried sign language, they told me it was from down under,

I found on youtube and it is new for me: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0aJT9E3G7c

You've encountered the reason I recently bought an old stock motherboard to reuse some ddr3 instead of the new hotness.

I have three of them and for the most part they've been great. One is a Mini-SEi running Windows 11 for her. The others are I think called Mini-S, they're Celeron 5095 boxes. The only issue I've had was after updating the sound wouldn't work...

I don't know what your requirements are, but I built me my NAS completely myself: Old hardware, a couple of storage drives into it (a PCI card to provide more SATA slots) but you already have the hardware. Then just a FreeBSD-RELEASE default...

Yeah but they are too small to matter. Unless you recursively create an infinite number of them or something.

But something is irreversible, it seems. If a process reaches this state, the process management is no longer capable of removing all related references to it like usual when something just exits with 0.

The actual memory mappings that the program did are gone when it is a zombie. There should only be minor stuff left. Zombies are always the fault of the process that originally started the later zombie.

I use XigmaNAS. 100% satisfied with it, right out of the box. ZFS2 with six WD drives.

Many applications that are in docker containers have no real way of running on FreeBSD unless built from source. And many do not have docs for that. One example is Audiobookshelf. Apps like Immich are fairly difficult to get working, though some...

Free the process memory that's shown by top and ps and remove the entry? What's still under that PID and why isn't it taken care of?

https://xigmanas.com/xnaswp/ I've not used but I think it's been mentioned elsewhere

Processes will not exit on signal 9 when they are stuck in the kernel. umount is a good example of a program that can happen to.

Zombie processes consist solely of an entry in the process table containing the exit status of a process that has already terminated. That entry exists so that the parent of the terminated process can execute a wait system call (to collect the...

Using SIGKILL kill -9 <pid> exercises extreme prejudice. The process never knows that it died. That's really bad for any process that needs to maintain external state. SIGTERM (signal 15) was invented for the precise purpose of terminating a...

It looks like a input problem. You could try to start X and an xterm manually to check if the keyboard works correctly. Type X and if that works, start xterm from another system console using ctrl-alt-F?. (Switch back to X with alt-F9) If it...

Rule of thumb as i understand , only do zpool labelclear only on drives where gpart does not show any freebsd-zfs partitions. That is safe.

Until you have X coming up properly I would suggest booting up to a command prompt and the running startx.

Maybe wrong keyboard layout, if your keybord is not en_US and your password contains chars other than alpha-numerics, that is you press the `@` character but it is not. I do not know how to set it up in sddm.

service php-fpm start:- even though it does exist in /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm. Since it exists the only pkg that could have installed it is nextcloud-php85 as that is the only pkg I've installed apart from apache24.

rc.conf : php_fpm_enable="YES" edit /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/ as needed ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I could be wrong !!!, but this is what A.I. says. In FreeBSD, you need to manually enable the...

Unfortunately I can't run it even though it is enabled. It does exist as /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm .

What do you mean by "no known partitions"? You mean like the drive is currently not attached to any pool? My assumption was that labelclear could mess up the pool if I used it on active drive.

Sorry, I didn't know.

you can check if everything works fine now with zpool status -x zpool status -v

There was an old pool on the drive with the exact same name, labels are still on disk, so that import fails. I would do absolutely nothing. It's a small annoyance. Maybe once you deleted a partition without "zpool destroy" before.

It seems that php-fpm is a modern replacement for mod_php. What changes do I need to make if I want to use it?

Thank you Alain for explaining this. It has been a while ago but it's possible that I might have done what you said when setting it up, though would that information survive resilvering with new drives? Anyway, I see this warning was added in...

alias pkgx='f() { pkg install -y "$1" | tee /tmp/log; }; f' AI generated ;)

I find it useful to find out whether any of it is correct. Sometimes it is partially correct and people here can point out errors in the AI generated advice.

What about its pkg-message? If OpenSearch was built with the PLUGINS option enabled (default) it will not start until the security plugin is properly configured. Please refer to the OpenSearch documentation for setting-up TLS...

Why don't you try DeepSeek, Z.ai or Qwen for example? Or some other LLM API aggregator?

I see an AI post on a forums as being the same etiquette as posting a google link. I.e: https://www.google.com/search?q=scripts But sometimes (admittedly fairly rarely) that is valid. If its a complex or non-intuitive search, likewise if it is...

I remember umount being unresponsive and not willing to terminate. Also firefox while it was somehow running an internal routine that prevents it from getting killed until it's finished. It's not arbitrary, I think. Zombie processes and such can...

"man kill" kill sends a signal to the process; I think default is SIGTERM. If a process is not in position to actually accept and process signals (no signal handler, blocked somewhere) the default does not work. "kill -9" as superuser is "KILL...

I totally agree with you on every single statement you've made. Thank you for writing this post! Yes, please, it has really become a problem...

Posting anything generated by an AI is completely pointless. Adoring ethusiastically something is one thing. Rub constantly anybody elses noses in it as they were incompetent and ignorant and you were the only one capable of using it, is...

It appears the OP somehow believes the licence propagates throughout the supply chain, which of course it doesn't. He seems to think because I received the code under the BSD licence I am also distributing it with the BSD licence, which I'm not...

I think I could do with an alias such as pkgx which would result in pkg install -y <pkg_to_install> | tee <file_to_save> but not sure how to specify it. Anyone?

It could be a science experiment: a FreeBSD port of a multiplayer dungeon game with AI-generated game mechanics and world but all detaiis can be changed by a person with priority. It's probably going to be psychedelic like those generated videos...

I disagree, AI has helped me out numerous times. It doesn't always give me the correcr solution but often points me in the correct direction.

I'm talking about a temporary boot solution. With something like Ventoy, I can boot FreeBSD from an ISO and once booted I can create a new (small) partition on the available free space left after installing and can install FreeBSD on it by...
