Finally, I found some time to install #brutaldon on the my #FreeBSD box in the #jail. Installation was pretty simple — just create thinjail and apply the next template to it (it is a Bastillefile):

CONFIG set enforce_statfs=1;
CONFIG set allow.mount.fdescfs;
CONFIG set allow.mount.procfs;
CONFIG set mount.procfs;
CONFIG set devfs_ruleset=70
RESTART

SYSRC clear_tmp_enable=YES
SYSRC clear_tmp_X=YES

CMD pkg bootstrap -f
CMD pkg update
PKG git py311-pipenv py311-lxml py311-sqlite3

CMD pw useradd brutaldon -s /bin/sh -m
CMD su - brutaldon -c 'cd /usr/home/brutaldon && git clone https://gitlab.com/brutaldon/brutaldon.git'
CMD su - brutaldon -c 'cd /usr/home/brutaldon/brutaldon && pipenv install'
CMD su - brutaldon -c 'cd /usr/home/brutaldon/brutaldon && pipenv run python ./manage.py migrate'

CONFIG remove ip4.addr;
CONFIG set ip4=inherit;
LIMITS pcpu 80
LIMITS memoryuse 2G
CP brutaldon /etc/rc.d/
SYSRC brutaldon_enable="YES"
RESTART

I used thinjail which uses the same network and network interfaces as the host system, because I suck in networking :-D.

Sadly, I don't understand how to use brutaldon with #Dillo — looks like it is impossible  I'm able to login to mastodon.bsd.cafe only via OAuth form, which doesn't work in Dillo — instead of it I got the "old" form with login/password/OAuth code credentials. And at the end I got the screenshot №1.

In the Librewolf I successfully logged in via the OAuth form, so I'm able to use brutaldon only in the Librewolf :-( (see screenshot №2 and №3).

IIRC, @rl_dane you are using Brutaldon with Dillo ­— how do you achieve that (main question — how to login? :-D )?

P.S. Contents of brutaldon startup script:

#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: brutaldon
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown

. /etc/rc.subr

name=brutaldon
rcvar=brutaldon_enable
load_rc_config $name

: ${brutaldon_enable:=NO}

start_cmd="${name}_start"
stop_cmd="${name}_stop"
status_cmd="${name}_status"

brutaldon_start()
{
su - brutaldon -c 'cd /usr/home/brutaldon/brutaldon && HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:20172 HTTPS_PROXY=http://localhost:20172 pipenv run python ./manage.py runserver 8082 > /dev/null 2>&1 &'
echo "Brutaldon started"
}

brutaldon_stop()
{
pkill -U $(id -u brutaldon) python
while /bin/test ! -z $(/usr/bin/pgrep -q -U $(id -u brutaldon) python); do
echo "Waiting for brutaldon to die"
sleep 5
done
echo "Brutaldon stopped"
}

brutaldon_status()
{
if pgrep -q -U $(id -u brutaldon) python; then
echo "Brutaldon is running"
else
echo "Brutaldon is stopped"
fi
}

run_rc_command "$1"

Sad part — even with big enough limits for the jail in the Bastillefile — brutaldon works not so fast. Possibly it is because it is written in Python, which wants a lot of memory/CPU, as I know from my experiments with home server, which has Intel Atom CPU inside and 2 Gb of memory :-D

Today's post: me talking about how cool @dillo is

#dillo #web

@mms I dunno, it just doesn't asking about JS at all and loads without complaints:-D
