And you slapped a GPLv3 on it :rolleyes: Almost all shell scripts in this application require bash (#!/usr/bin/env bash), and the submitted port doesn't have a dependency on it. So much for being "designed for FreeBSD production environments"...

At some point a ports committer will have a final look at this and either okay it or not. It's up to the critical eye of that committer to see how far this flies.

bastille doesn't do anything "special" or different, it's basically a shell script wrapper around the standard jail tools.

I chose XFCE for my daily driver on MX Linux. I really do like it. Very much impressed with how it reminds me of the Good Old Days of Win7. I stick to FBSD for server stuff with terminal control.

That looks good, but I've been bitten by that before. What does bastille cmd sigil freebsd-version output?

System stability is the cornerstone of operational engineering, and FreeBSD has long been the preferred platform for high-uptime, security-conscious environments. relysam v2.0.0 is not merely "compatible" with FreeBSD; it is explicitly engineered...

They pop up from time to time: posters who want their threads or posts removed because they're done with a subject or the forums in general. There have been bitter disputes about the "ownership of posts". The content below was culled from...

As of today, FreeBSD Forums staff will actively close down (and eventually remove) topics that serve no other purpose than to complain that "FreeBSD is not (like) Linux" (or Windows, or MacOS, or any other operating system), or that "FreeBSD does...

More and more new threads are started in the General section of the forums, which is basically the forum of last resort, except when you actually want to discuss something belonging to the FreeBSD general base system, like programs in /bin...

How did you upgrade the bastille jail? I have a sneaky suspicion your jail is still running on 14.x.

WiFi support has a good progress, and also in laptops you can always replace the mini-PCIe card with another one. However, the lack of "digital microphone" support is a real show stopper nowadays...

Here are some pictures of my current work.

I've looked here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm And I've looked here: https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm/#hw There are a lot of boards and a lot of caveats. Do you have practical FreeBSD experience with an ARM board you would recommend?

No, those distribution tarballs and rc.local is all that is needed. Mind, distfiles are deprecated, pkgbase packages are used now. This would affect updating/upgrading the system in the future, when freebsd-update is removed, unless the systems...

aselia Your question isn't even on topic for this thread which is about creating a driver for microphone input. Even then I'd question whether your question is related to how FreeBSD does things versus Linux and could end up out in the weeds.

It's crazy from your point of view, but if you use a VPN for practical reasons, such as geolocation or P2P, running it on a router is less flexible. A free VPN probably wont work for iPlayer, but any data worth stealing is encrypted these days.

Funny, I've dealt with this issue with every minor version for longer than you've been a member here, nothing's changed. The only thing that changed is an attempt to make things a bit better during that three month transition phase. This has...

Tested in a VM, shutdown_splash works just fine. In your case, if the variable is copied & pasted (not a manual transcript typo), the equal sign (=) is missing: shutdown_splash="xxx.png"

You need to add -t if you want to upgrade the jail's version. -t version Upgrade the jail to the specified version instead of upgrading to the latest security fix. I usually don't bother with version upgrades, just create a new...

Correct. This updates the jail, i.e. security/errata patches. It does NOT upgrade the version (minor or major).

tar -cvf /var/... --exclude='.acme.sh' /root/ man tar -f file, --file file --exclude=.acme.sh is being interpreted as a filename.

Using Sylve in place of now dead TrueNAS CORE makes a lot of sense - web GUI for managing ZFS pools/datasets/snapshots along with (already implemented or planned) NFS/SMB/other sharing ... not to mention VMs and Jails and even clustering...

I have a laptop (not tablet) with an Intel Atom Z3735F SoC and that comes with Intel HD 620 Graphics, which works fine with FreeBSD. The recent support now on FreeBSD for 32-bit UEFI made installation possible and it works like a charm. Only...

I don't know where you got your instructions from, but it's clear they didn't come from the handbook. You probably followed some old instructions from a youtube video.

That's called babysitting. Real engineering means trial and error, collecting data, and revising the product, and being able to mathematically explain what is wrong with the previous version. That is how FreeBSD got to be so incredibly stable...

I'm not a NVIDIA insider, but as far as I could hear, nouveau is already outdated and having issues on Linux, thus, not worth trying to port. If it can support all GPUs last supported by any of 3xx branch of proprietary drivers and works fine for...

It's been built for 15.0, which will fail on 15.1. Your poudriere jail is likely still 15.0.

I presume it is available on Play Store... After checking, I see that it is.

Ignore it.

Perfect, thanks! 🙏

tar -cvf /var/... --exclude='.acme.sh' /root/ man tar -f file, --file file --exclude=.acme.sh is being interpreted as a filename.

Thats what policy routing is for.

I'm trying to exclude a sub directory in /root with tar --exclude. The sub directory I want to exclude is /root/.acme.sh - which I have a separate backup for. This is what I have: # tar –cvf --exclude='.acme.sh' /var/backup/root-`date...

Porting process for beginners, not the documents. Maybe, it can come from somewhere, but anyone who has tried porting, but hasn't completed it, maybe lacks to understand what else is needed. I would also lack, and may struggle to explain the...

Iirc, with console="nullconsole" it'll just show the FreeBSD orb on boot and shutdown (no text)

Some info & links I wrote down: Boot Environment & snapshot - important ZFS features

Manual or automatic creation of BEs using freebsd-update Automatic or manual, both create BEs. Doing it yourself, manually, gives you an active role and the choice of an apt naming scheme for management purposes. The automatic creation and...

I installed Xfce 14.1, 15, and 16 and the same procedure worked along with the info coming from handbook :) (I just type startx)

Got too many smart TVs that'd complain :p I'd rather not use VPN server bandwidth for stuff that doesn't really matter, and I usually only do stuff that matters on 1 computer. If a VPN didn't have OpenVPN for practically easy-config any OS, I...

Is there any contest? I think I'm under 25 seconds to the text login with a menstick but I didn't count it. Most of the kernel barely takes time. Rc.d is worse on it. The USB stack coming takes 5 seconds before read access. That's a liitle long...

Here we are. This is the first version of pkgb-update. A tool that mimics in some ways freebsd-update but for pkgbase systems. https://github.com/Emrion/pkgb-update/tree/main You are free to use, take ideas, copy some portions of code and abuse.
